本周,爱尔兰最高法院裁定赛百味面包含糖量过高,不符合面包的法律定义,赛百味面包成为国际头条新闻。一家地铁特许经营商声称,该连锁店的面包符合“主食”的资格,在爱尔兰,这将免除其增值税(VAT)。然而,在爱尔兰,根据定义,面包中的成分,如糖和脂肪,不能超过面团中面粉重量的2%。很明显,赛百味面包中的糖含量超过了限制,从而取消了它作为面包的资格,使它有资格纳税。

你可能想知道美国是否有关于如何引用食物的标准,它确实有。几年前,一个蛋黄酱品牌起诉了一家素食食品公司用mayo这个词根据美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)的联邦身份标准,该标准指出蛋黄酱必须包括鸡蛋. 这个食品和药物管理局面包标准但是,不要提糖,糖是美国制造的面包中常用的成分。

具体到赛百味,他们并没有隐瞒使用糖。它是九粒小麦的第四种成分成分声明在他们的网站上。它们还提供面包中的糖分和其他营养成分。有些面包每份只含2克糖,相当于半茶匙,比如迷你意大利面包。最高的是每一份含有9粒小麦的5克,刚好超过一茶匙。目前还不清楚这是针对6英寸的面包还是12英寸的面包,但无论哪种情况,它的含糖量都比你在超市里通常买到的面包要少。

例如神奇面包每片含有4克添加糖,这意味着两片三明治含有8克或两茶匙的添加糖。添加糖是指制造商在食品中添加的糖。这是我们应该限制的糖分类型,不像水果和红薯等新鲜食物中天然存在的糖分,这些食物富含健康保护纤维和营养物质。夏威夷国王的面包每片装6克加糖。甚至看起来更健康的面包也含有额外的甜味剂。一片Pepperidge农场全麦100%全麦面包含4克添加糖。

我的许多从其他国家搬到美国的客户都注意到,与他们的味觉习惯相比,我们的面包味道有多甜。我们对甜味的喜爱导致糖被添加到许多你可能不会想到的食物中,从沙拉酱到汤,意大利面酱,甚至寿司。

根据美国心脏协会,美国成年人平均每天消耗77克糖。这超过了19茶匙,相当于每人每年15个4磅的袋子。AHA指出,在过去三十年中,糖摄入量的增加与体重的增加平行,并且过量的糖消费与增加患癌症的风险有关心脏病加糖过多也与2型糖尿病,五月消极影响心理健康

虽然你不需要完全不吃糖,但明智的做法是遵循美国心脏协会(AHA)的建议上限:女性每天添加糖的量不超过6茶匙,男性不超过9茶匙,或分别为24克和36克。

查看食品标签是一个聪明的策略。美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)新修订的营养成分标签现在列出了包装食品中添加的糖的克数。(注意:规模较小的食品公司要到2021年才能采用新标签,但大多数品牌已经改用了修订版。)这个重要的标签变化可以让你快速看到每一份食物含有多少添加糖。

至于餐厅餐饮,包括快餐店在内的大型连锁店应在其网站上提供营养信息。例如,一片大奶酪只能做成薄皮比萨饼必胜客含5克糖星巴克大南瓜香料拿铁含有50克。找出你经常去的地方。你可能会惊讶于这些糖克加起来有多快!

It sounds like you’re pretty mindful of your sugar intake, or perhaps you don’t have a sweet tooth. In either case, your intake doesn’t sound excessive. If you enjoy some can’t-live-without sweet treats on occasion, keep doing so. And don’t forget to focus on the healthfulness of the remainder of your diet. Include plenty of veggies, along with lean protein; healthy fats like avocado, extra virgin olive oil, and nuts; and moderate portions of good carbs, like fresh fruit, sweet potato, and quinoa.

It sounds like you have some room to curb your added sugar consumption. Perhaps you didn’t know about lesser-known sources like ketchup. Or maybe you didn’t realize just how frequently you were consuming sugary foods until now. Whatever the case, start by becoming a bit of a sugar sleuth. Read ingredient lists and look for sugar grams per serving on labels. Next, try some simple swaps that will still leave you feeling satisfied. For example, opting for two squares of dark chocolate in place of a few cookies can slash several grams of added sugar.

Also, up your intake of fresh food. The AHA limits do not include sugars added to food by Mother Nature, like the sugar in fresh fruit or carrots. That means an apple with nuts or hummus with veggies are good snack choices.

Based on your responses you’re likely getting too much added sugar. To cut back, set one goal at a time. For example, start by replacing sugary drinks with plain or sparkling H2O. Next, identify the sugary foods you feel you can realistically forego. For example, maybe you find a veggie and avocado omelet even more appealing than a bowl of sugary cereal for breakfast. If so, try to make the time in the a.m.

Next, consider reducing the frequency of sweet treats rather than swearing them off completely. Make your favorites special splurges, and pass on options you can live without. As you gradually reduce your sugar intake you’ll probably notice an increase in your energy level, a reduction in cravings, and bonus benefits, like clearer skin and better sleep.
