Hidden Sugars are one of the largest contributors to the obesity epidemic we are facing today. It is shown to be more addictive than the illicit drug cocaine!
The other contributing fact is our history of Government food recommendations. During the 50 s, 60’s & 70’s our parents were told to eat low fat foods to control weight. In fact it is the hidden sugars in these foods that are piling on the kilograms. Sugar was added to replace the mouth feel and taste of foods that had been stripped of fat.
We, as parents now, have to change our parental programing, watch our sugars and teach our children that there are other taste buds in their mouths other than sweet .
Try roasting some cruciferous and low GI vegetables and blend them into a soup or a dip, add them to a frittata or simply serve them sweet and hot. The natural sugars will increase the sweetness and help swing those taste buds back to a more natural state of awareness.
Please remember your plate, cup and bowl every day.
