SUGAR and it's names

The average American eats more than 30 tsps of sugar a day... that's more than 114 pounds in a year!  Sugar is everywhere and you want to ELMINATE IT as much as possible!  The World Health Organization recommends no more than 12 - 15 tsps a day or 48 - 60 grams.  As a WLS Patient, you want to ELIMINATE it to prevent dumping and weight regain.  It also triggers in most to seek more sugars/carbs/foods...

Check out sugar it its many aliases...
HINT:  anything that ends in "-OSE" is a sugar!
