Choose This, Not That Low-Sugar Foods

I am unable to find Kraft Light Original barbecue sauce lately. Has it been removed from Karft's offerings?

If you turn your item over and look at the nutritional lable, you will see the serving size listed and the amount of carbs in that serving. One carbohydrate serving is 15 grams and that ia all you need to know to make good choices according to your daily carb allowance. Sugar is sugar is sugar.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND WHAT WORKS FOR ONE PERSON DOESN'T FOR ANOTHER. I HEAR ALOT OF ANGER HERE!!

How about Greek yogurt? It has even less carbs and it is creamy to mix with fruit. I also add nuts. No guilt!!!

What about V-8 veggie juice low sodium

Did I really read advise to choose a yogurt with artificial sweeteners as a better alternative? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ONLY IN AMERICA! At least it also said to choose plain yougurt and add fresh fruit; however, yous till have to look at the label because in conventional grocery stores, most "plain" yogurt is still highly sweetened. Find a plain, unsweetened yogurt and add fresh fruit.

Best drink or food to raise blood sugar. At times you don't have a choice, but if you carried something with you, what would the best choice(s)?

when you get foods with added ingredients, tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregeno the "manufacturers see fit to add sugar for some reasons of their own" no it makes no sense. If enough people wrote on their comment pages they would stop the insanity. And anonymous needs to understand that companies put extra sugar in some fruit drinks that are supposed to be light so you have to read labels carefully.

What a joke; we all know to go with light anything, it's the obvious choice. Please tell me something useful

I don't get the diced tomatoes, herbs have no sugar right, therefore how could there be 4 gms of sugar in plain diced tomatoes & 8 gms in the diced with added basil garlic & organo

A doctor told me that even if you add water to a sugar item it does not dilute the amount of sugar in that drink, the sugar amount always remains the same?

What's with all these "light" juices and drinks? Get regular no sugar added juice and dilute it or just eat fruit! The real stuff always tastes better and you're not paying a lot for water and artificial ingredients. The same goes for yogurt. Get some 0% fat greek yogurt (such as Fage) and add some fruit.

Regarding Yoplait. I stopped eating this brand in particular. Even though it is light and fat free, it is deceiving. The ingredients include Fructose/corn syrup amongst its sugar alternatives.

As far as I am concerned this article was useless. Reading labels is just a part of being diabetic, this was so condescending. I agree with those who say eat less of something natural and stay away from the chemicals. If you cannot pronounce an ingredient, stay away from the product.

It is so very simple to just make your own applesauce and you know what goes into it. It is always so much better tasting than purchased applesauce. All it takes is peeling some apples cut them up and simmer on the stove top! You don't need to make a dozen jars of it. It so easy you can make to go with a meal you're preparing or do a coup;e jars of it and keep it in the refrigerator for several days!

I go with natural as often as possible. I would rather eat less of something that tastes good and good for me. Editors give us more on healthy and tastey foods

The differences in all these products is easily determined by reading the label. I'd rather see what would make applesauce better than something with the same carb count. Help us make choices that aren't so obvious.

Has anyone noticed what the editors of this 'fine' magazine that's dispensing'reliable' & vital health information? (And yes, I'm being sarcastic). The label say's 'LOW SUGAR' and their advice says "NO SUGAR". Hmmmmm, makes me wonder how valid any of the information provided is. Also, there is another editing error within this title.

be careful of the sodium in these drinks

What about strategies for people who are sensitive or even allergic to artificial sweeteners? Enough with all this chemical-laden "Lite" and "Low Sugar" junk!, and recipes full of headache or dizziness-inducing sweeteners!! I'd rather have less of something with sugar than poison myself with that stuff...

I'm with erandall7755. The first ingredient listed is water and it costs more per ounce than the OJ beside it in the refridgerator section. Pay for water? Not only is that ridiculous, but it tastes awful. Natural is the best. dotsinpbg

I don't agree at all. I would rather take in something natural and have less of it then take in something full of unwanted chemicals artifically produced. I get the the no added sugar and add half water.

Great suggestions. How about fresh apples?
