Labels!

Here is how they try to entice you. Don't fall for these pick up lines.

Sugar-free: it means the food contains less than .5 grams of sugar per serving- but the serving may be small.

Natural: this term has a positive perception, but no formal definition when applied to  products that don't contain meat and eggs. Sugar is natural! Other meaningless buzzwords to be aware of : "simple" and "wholesome."They are all marketing-speak.

Low-fat: Sure, a product may have 3 grams of fat or less per serving, but it could also be high in sugar, sodium and calories. Very often when one ingredient is missing, manufactures add something else to make up for it.

Reduced sugar vs low sugar: "The reduced sugar tag" means a product has 25% less sugar than the regular version. By contrast, the "low sugar" label,  which is often seen on jams and cookies, has no standards definition.
