Sneaky sugars

High fructose corn syrup will make you gain weight, but you should know that table sugar {sucrose} is just as bad. Both are a blend of glucose and fructose and all sugars add about 16 calories per teaspoon to your diet. Check nutrition labels for sugars under their many  other names- fructose, glucose,dextrose,maltose,lactose,galactose, maltodextrin, molasses and rice syrup. While some sugars are easy to spot, you may be surprised to find that a 6 ounce nonfat yogurt has more than 32 grams of sugar {thats 162 calories} and 1/2 cup cup of spagetti sauce has more than 11 grams of sugar.
