Michael Pollan writes in The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006, Penguin Press) that if we eat the standard American industrial diet, then we are all made of corn; even the sugar in our food is often made from it.
In fact, there are many different kinds of sugars that we might not recognize, and not many of them are cut in the field by happy workers. Reader's Digest provides a list of substitutes for sugar that you might not recognize, but all are classed as sugars:
- Amazake
- Brown sugar
- Carob powder
- Corn syrup
- Dextrose
- Evaporated cane juice
- Fructose
- Fruit juice concentrate
- High-fructose corn syrup
- Honey
- Maltose
If you are trying to avoid sugar, watch out for these, as well. ::Reader's Digest
