Hidden sugar" refers to sugar that is added to food and beverages during processing or preparation, often without consumers realizing it. This sugar is not always easily identifiable by simply looking at the product packaging or label.
It is important to read food labels carefully and be aware of ingredients that may indicate the presence of hidden sugars. Monitoring overall sugar intake, choosing whole foods over processed options, and opting for unsweetened or naturally sweetened alternatives can help reduce hidden sugar consumption and promote a healthier diet.
