Protect yourself from the number one cause of death in the U.S. with help from this handy guide based on the most recent, groundbreaking scientific findings.
v Contains fat, cholesterol, trans fat, fiber, and sugar values for more than 10,000 foods, including your favorite brand name and restaurant items.
v Explains why the type of fat you eat may be more important than how much you eat
v Explores the difference between the types of fat and cholesterol-what to eat more of, what to eat less of, and what to avoid altogether.
v Reveals the fascinating truth about sugar, fiber, and your heart.
p. 55, How much sugar should you eat? Rather than get caught up in grams of sugar per day, it might be wiser to simply try these easy tips to reduce your sugar intake:
v Stop drinking soda.
v Drink 100% fruit juice, not presweetened fruit drinks and other highly sweetened drinks-orange juice instead of fruit punch.
v Eat more naturally sweet fruit.
v Keep portion sizes of sweets moderate-½ cup of ice cream instead of a soup bowl full, 2 cookies rather than a box, or a snack-size candy bar.
v Eat unsweetened or mildly sweetened cereals; aim for 6 or less grams of sugar per serving.
v Eat plain yogurt and drink plain, unsweetened milk.
