This is how much sugar you are [possibly] eating.
(lemmy.world)
I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you're a hunter-gatherer.
So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I'm not an exception.
Explains part of the reason why Rao's tastes better than those other brands. I wish it had no sugar though.
It's pretty common to add a bit of sugar to tomato sauce tho.
I don't think you can make tomato sauce without any sugar.... Tomatoes have a fair amount.
Which kind of begs the question is this added sugar or?
(Please god stop adding sugar to your red sauces people. Fruits/vegetables bring their own)
One of them does say no added sugar
