246 Names that Sugar Goes By:

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

This is an interesting post I ran across tonight whilst browsing Facebook. The author of this list is Jeremy Goodwin, who is a Houston, Texas chef keeping a Facebook page under the name of "Single Man's Kitchen". Jeremy cooks simple food from local, natural, sustainable sources. Here's his mind-boggling list of the "undercover" names for SUGAR:

****************************
******

This is the list of the ingredient names for sugars that you find on packages in the USA and Canada. Some of the sugars are really artificial sweeteners, but have a high calorific value, high enough to be considered an artificial sugar. Anyone can suggest an addition or removal from the list and all comments and questions are welcomed. If I don't know the answer, it forces me to learn.

    Sugar has a legal definition for what you can call sugar, that is why you see the other names. Anything that ends in an -ose is a form of sugar. Lactose is a sugar found in milk. The -itols are using some form of sugar alcohols. Great blog.

    Wow!!! It really would be so much easier if they just called it SUGAR! I hate to try to remember the names of everything you should avoid!

    That is crazy. Just my two bits on the topic through. I'm doing a cleansing diet - under supervision of my doctor. I can't have sugar, honey, etc. But I am allowed Agave, Organic blackstrap molasses, stevia, brown rice syrup. I have found I love to make all sorts of things using these sweeteners.

I'm not 100% sure why I can have these sweeteners, but none of the others. But I can tell you, I went through ugly sugar withdrawal. Three weeks of nightmares, anger, mood swings - it was ugly. Funny how I still went through withdrawal even though I could have these few sweeteners. I wonder why.
