Sugar comes from the most unusual places. Most people do not realize that there are several different forms of sugar coming from sources that you would never expect. For example, sugar is found in pretzels, bread, salad, peanut butter, etc. Why, you might ask? Sugar satisfies our taste buds and it leaves you craving more to eat. It is so important to know about sugars, because sugar is hidden everywhere. Your blood stream quickly absorbs sugar, causing your pancreas to release large amounts of insulin, which can also become toxic. When insulin reaches your liver, it is converted into triglycerides, which are a form of fat that is stored in your adipose fat. 

As consumers, you should be aware of what you are eating. By reading labels and understanding how many calories from sugar you are intaking is key to helping you decide which sugars to avoid and which to include in your diet, when necessary. An easy and simple rule that you can follow is, sugars that you consume from any processed food should not be anymore than 10 percent.
