Is 14 grams of added sugar in a 5 oz jar of yogurt unhealthy for you?

Well, that's about 1/3 the added sugar in a can of soda pop. (39 grams in many). So, where does someone "cut the line"? I personally wouldn't avoid the yogurt, but I'll cut back on sugar somewhere else to balance it out.

I recently heard a commercial about a product, bragging that it had the "same amount of fiber as 2 cups of broccoli". Well, there is actually more PROTEIN (5g+) in broccoli than FIBER (4.7g) in any given volume. Broccoli just seems like it SHOULD have more fiber, but it really doesn't. It just suffers from a bad image. :- ) Bran flakes have several times the fiber as broccoli and are a lot cheaper source of fiber per ounce, but then the commercial wouldn't be effective. The makers of the commercial didn't lie, they just used the "healthy image" of broccoli to lead you down a path. Compare yourself or your product to something worse and yes, it will seem that you come out on top. Moral: keep checking the labels, compare, compare, compare.

But back to yogurt- Maybe try one of the thicker yogurts such as FAGE. You can eat a bit less, and still be satisfied. Or, get a no sugar added, plain yogurt, and add fresh fruit. At least the fruit sugar is unrefined and natural.

Its utterly horrendous , just avoid ALL processed sugar , this stuff is slow suicide , honestly , will force insulin levels high creating inflammation , glucose is pushed , this kind of thing causes a plethora of other problems..

Its not proper yogurt ( it may say it is ) - Its processed Sht !

Sorry , its another , never , ever , ever , never , don't even consider supporting these criminals that manufacture this stuff , they know the food value.

*cries*

You can purchase healthy natural yogurt , its possible , but be weary of all processed with added sugar , Dr Sten Edberg ( maybe spelling - USA holistic doctor , born in Sweden practising in USA ) ( You Tube ) , has half an episode on all this stuff , and the giant con that its become , trying to pose as " healthy " , we are all in essence to at least some degree addicted to sugar ( 99% of us , even if you dont add it yourself , which I dont ) and the sad thing is this entire industry is completely unnecessary , also goes back to the original Kellogg's story , when it began as a healthy option , it certainly no longer is , same trick is used with processed musili , in the name of health.
You want an unprocessed product , with ZERO added sugar , or nasty preservatives , its all complete deception by the food industry , beginning in the West.

I promise you one thing , he is brilliant , detailed , and explains exactly why each thing reacts as it does , each part of the body. He sure helped me , especially with regard Carbs , Gluten , processed sugars , and everything improved massively , I'm best I've ever been at my age. I'm assuming you are younger , I wish I could have taken on this regime in my 20s - 30s , I have learnt so much.
He was also an Olympic athlete.

That is quite densely packed added sugar. Get a plain cup, add a small drizzle of honey if you need it, and voila!

[Asker]

Superb! Natures natural sweetener 👌

[Whatthefluff]

It mixes well too

[Asker]

Yes.. maybe some plain unsweetened yogurt with a Fallon up honey and a pinch of ground cinnamon. AMEN!

[Asker]

Dollop of homey*

[Asker]

Honey!* damn phone

This is what happens to your body when you add exactly 14 grams of sugar to yogur. Stick to odd numbered measurements of sugar when adding it to yogurt. 15 or 13 grams should do.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its 14 gramms already, considering the daily dose is about 30gramms you got half your advised daily dose of sugar just from that Yogurt.

[Truthatanycost]

That is over 3 teaspoons of sugar. I'd toss that Yogurt in the bin. Look for a yogurt that has 0% added sugars. Milk has a little natural sugar already.

[madhatters4]

that is a lot of sugar for 5oz of yogurt.

[Christoff92]

Yeh. You want to have 1 gram of sugar.

That's very unhealthy in my opinion.

[jahaims]
