Are These "Healthy" Foods Worse For You Than A Doughnut?

As a whole we are actively consuming way too much sugar in our diets.  The World Health Organization recently announced that we should reduce our intake of sugar to a measly 5 percent of our Daily Caloric Intake.  For example, if you followed a 2000 calorie diet then your sugar intake would be 100 calories or less.  As easy as that sounds if you are not actively tracking your food you could be consuming that amount just in your breakfast cereal.  Here are 5 foods that are worse for you than a doughnut and the results may surprise you.  The comparison will be against a Dunkin Donuts sugar raised donut (Calories 230 Fat 14 Sugars 4) 1) Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Raisin Granola: Calories 345 Fat 4.5 g Sugar 21 g (that is more than 5 Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised donuts) 2) Ocean Spray Craisins: Calories 130 Fat 0 g Sugar 29 g (that is more than 7 Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised donuts) 3) Kraft Fat Free Catalina Salad Dressing: Calories 150 Fat 0 g Sugar 7 g (that is more than 2 Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised donuts) 4) Dannon Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt: Calories 150 Fat 1.5 g Sugar 27 g ( That is more than 6 Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised donuts) 5) Langers Pomegranate Blueberry Juice Cocktail: Calories 140 Fat 0 g Sugar 30 g (That is more than 8 Dunkin' Donuts sugar raised donuts)
