Sugar, sugar everywhere!

Zucker, überalll Zucker!

Unfortunately, I have to realize this again and again: Without living with the added sugar in food, you can no longer go shopping without a magnifying glass and an E-number app. Why, dear Migros, is there sugar in everything? How much does the sugar lobby contribute to this? Or rather from the doctors' association? The pharmaceutical industry? It's really worrying that the food industry is using more and more sugar for products that don't even need it!
--> Sugar is in all processed foods! Whether it's meat products, canned vegetables, pickles or cottage cheese, everything is full of it!
I wish that all products containing sugar or sugar substitutes would be labeled accordingly. How can you eat healthily with that?

Sugar is not just a sweetener but, like fat, also a flavor carrier or flavor enhancer. This is why sugar is used by the food industry: more taste - greater popularity - higher sales. The desire to reduce the amount of added sugar therefore unfortunately remains a pious one, as the success of the product is ultimately determined by the consumer. In addition, sugar is a cheap raw material (compare the price of chocolate products with a high sugar content, such as Mars and MilkyWay, with that of conventional chocolate). If you want to consciously avoid "hidden" sugar, you have no choice but to opt for unprocessed products and perhaps health food products.

which is also one reason why I prepare a lot of things myself. Not that there is no sugar here, but I want sugar where I think it makes sense and not as a flavor carrier. Convenience products hardly stand a chance (exceptions prove the rule :) ) and I don't buy fruit juices etc. either. It is certainly time-consuming and requires a lot of research, but there are also many good alternatives for cooking/baking that can be easily integrated into everyday life. Not a simple topic and also one that in my opinion belongs to education....

That's why ready-made products are no longer of interest to me either. I pay a lot of attention to the sugar in the individual products and it is always frustrating to see where this flavor lie is everywhere.

But at some point you get used to it and know which products don't contain sugar.
It takes a bit more time at the beginning to read all the ingredients, but I know what I'm putting into my body.

And no, sweeteners such as aspartame and all other artificial poisons are NOT an alternative.

We live in a similar way to Irene and Schpudelchen, making almost everything ourselves, be it cookies, chocolate etc. for the reason mentioned above, because almost everything has sugar in it. And artificial sweeteners are no substitute for us either. If I sweeten something, it's with honey from my own bees or from well-known beekeepers.

Jamira01, great that you wrote it like that.

Think exactly as everyone here writes.

Sugar everywhere sugar, terrible, apparently nothing works WITHOUT it!
An over-sugared population, no wonder people are getting rounder and rounder and getting diabetes, weight and kidney problems, increased blood pressure or x-different fungi on the body, which are known to enjoy when you consume sugar and thus multiply and spread even faster.

For me, it's clear that if I'm going to eat sugar, I want to do it in a way that I can see and decide for myself.

Since both children in the family were diagnosed with fructose intolerance, we now know where sugar is to be found. In the last few months, the children's mother has become a real expert. Of course, she makes almost everything herself. We are waiting for the day when we can buy substitutes such as rice syrup or cereal sugar in Migros.
