It's no coincidence that America's increase in diabetes is
directly tied to increases in per capita sugar consumption.
So first, find where sugar is hiding - then, work to reduce your own sugar
consumption. You'll reduce your diabetes risk, and enjoy a slimmer waistline too.
WHAT ABOUT
NATURAL SUGARS?
Fruits, starchy vegetables and some dairy
products (like milk), contain naturally
occurring - or integral - sugars. It may be
natural, but whether natural or manufactured,
too much sugar is a problem.

Diabetes is growing in America at
alarming rates. And according to
the authors of the latest Atkins book—
T h e N e w A t k in s fo r a N e w Y o u —
a major contributor to this rise is the
increase in sugar consumption. It's
not surprising that we're eating more
sugar in America than ever before-
sugars are everywhere, even in foods
marketed as "healthy."

HOW TO SPOT SNEAKY SUGARS.
Sugar in food products goes under a number of aliases. So look at the label. If you see
glucose, fructose, sucrose, corn syrup, molasses, honey, dextrose, sorghum, lactose, maltose,
galactose, concentrated grape juice or even the healthy-sounding organic evaporated cane
juice listed, it's all still sugar. And watch out for the worst offender of all—high-fructose corn
syrup. Research has shown that this cheaply manufactured sweetener goes directly to your
liver, where it is stored primarily as fat.
