Do you know your daily intake?

Just watching a documentary about how the food industry markets food to us.

Central

I consume tons. All of the hidden sugar in chocolates as well as savoury foods, like bread. I'm probably well in excess of my daily limit - Shag would not be impressed.

Very little since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I look very closely at sugar content. My blood sugar level is below average now.

It is bloody scary how much sugar content is in a lot of foods.

No but I would guess it's probably well over the recommended amount.

At the moment probably not too bad actually, I'm doing a lot of cooking from scratch so not much processed stuff, am off the booze, given up chocolate for lent, I don't add it to hot drinks or drink fizzy drinks except the odd Diet Coke, so what I get will be what's naturally occurring in fruit and vegetables mainly. I have no idea what that equates to in terms of recommended limits but should be fine.

No idea

I don't eat sugar in sugar form, only drink diet soft drinks, what's in the food I eat I have no idea I don't check

Probably more than I should as sugars in everything now days

I bought some pure orange juice the other day that had 9 grams of sugar in how the hell is that pure orange juice? Labels can be really deceiving

Well if you ate the same number of oranges that were juiced to make that, they would have 9grams of sugar so a high sugar content doesn't stop it being pure orange juice.

I don't eat much fruit or bread. I don't really have much candy, either. Marc tends to make most of our food from scratch. So in that sense I'm mostly ok.

I do sometimes drink , which is my weakness, but only about 2 liters every 2 months or so. And cider. And I put two sugars in my coffee, and I drink lots of coffee.

But overall I think I'm ok. My entire family has diabetes, including my brother whose had it since age 27, so it's something I have to be somewhat vigilant about.

Got to laugh seen 'reduced sugar'museli,higher sugar content than normal,really is a struggle keeping in daily limits,specially where food labelling lumps refined/unrefined together,making percentage look Lowe than really is?

Same here, over the last few weeks I have cut down to zero in coffee/tea unless I feel like a treat, not that often!

And watching everything I eat, awkward but feeling much better for it, and from 17.2 down to 6.4 on my last check this morning

I think the correct amount is one spoonful....

Evidently it helps the medicine go down .
