Experts recommend that women should only consume 24 grams of sugar a day, while men are allowed up to 36 grams. But did you know that a can of soda already contains nearly 40 grams of sugar? Granted, everyone knows sodas are high in sugar, but many are unaware that a can of tomato soup can hold up to 20 grams of sugar per serving, and your favorite apple juice, even if labeled unsweetened, has about 25 grams of sugar a cup.
1. Baked beans
When thinking about savory baked beans, them being high in sugar is not the first thing that comes to our minds. One portion of 254 grams of baked beans contains no less than 5 teaspoons of sugar.
2. Smoothies
Having smoothies at home can be a great morning ritual. However, store-bought smoothies are sweetened with ingredients like ice cream or syrup, which increase the sugar content. Some premade drinks contain over 50 grams (13 teaspoons) of sugar in a single 16- or 20-ounce (473- or 591-mL) serving.
3. Canned soup
You’d think that store-bought soup would be a healthy combination of water and nutritious vegetables. But when you zoom in on the nutrition facts, you will notice that a single can’s sugar content can actually cover your entire required daily sugar intake. This is especially common in tomato-based sauces, which contain 8.7 grams of sugar per 1 cup.
