8 grams ( one and a half ) teaspoon full on 2 Chelsea buns, not really hidden but why that much. |

KempinaPartyhat, just looked at that and it is pretty scary, little wonder there are so many over weight people about including me, and my Husband is diabetic. |

My daughter is type 1 diabetic and when I do the weekly shop, I always look at sugar content. Cereal bars are terrible and most not healthy at all. Better off bying bread and having toast and marmite. |

as a type 2 diabetic - the dietician especially warned me about fruit juice (which I'd always thought so healthy!) even in natural form and no sugar added, the natural sugars are quite high- just to use a teaspoonful or two and dilute it like squash if I must. |

Yogurt is also terrible and should be banned as a health food!!! |

plain yoghurt should be all right, and there are plain and no-fat or low-fat ones. It's the low-fat fruit ones that have dollops of sugar. There is one Irish fruit yoghurt brand which is no-fat no-added-sugar, all the supermarkets have it except A--a, but in very small quantities hidden in unlikely corners of the shelves. |

Thanks to mucking around with fruit & veg, say, 30 years ago one tomato would provide lots of nutrition. To get the same amount of nutrition from one of today's tomatoes you'd need to eat 8 - and that includes an awful lot of fructose! |

We grow our own veg, potatoes, tomatoes, runner beans, onions, they have a taste of what they should. I believe it is because things are massively grown there is no or very little nutrition in them, quantity not quality. |

When my late Mum was in hospital we had to ask people not to take her grapes as she was insulin dependent diabetic. It is scandalous the amount of sugar added to footstuffs and also the fructose etc which is naturally in various things. I hate all the no added sugar things tho as they often have aspartame in and I won't consume that if I can avoid it, as I am sure it caused my fm and cfs. Makes me wonder what it does to the children of today when it's in stuff they have. It's banned in the States, why are we still being fed it. |
