Wishbone Russian Dressing or Coca Cola? Coffee-Mate Non-Dairy Creamer or a bar of Hershey's Milk Choco- late? "Unless you have a food- analysis laboratory in your basement," says Consumer Reports, "the answers might come as quite a sur- prise. The Heinz Tomato Ketchup is 29 percent sugar, compared to 21 per- cent for the ice cream. If you put Wishbone Russian Dressing on a salad, you're pouring 30 percent sugar, a proportion more than three times that of Coke. The Coffee-Mate, which is sup- posed to be a substitute for cream, contains 65 percent sugar, against 51 percent . for a Hershey bar.... . "Those were some of the results when CU analyzed 24 common food products to determine what proportion of their weight consisted of sugar. (When we use the word 'sugar,' we're referring to all varieties of sugars, in- cluding those in corn syrup, honey, fruit and vegetables, as well as ordinary table sugar, or sucrose.) "When it comes to sugar, much of the food industry apparently operates on the assumption that the con- sumer has three taste pre- ferences: sweet, sweeter, and sweetest. If you prepare your chicken with Shake 'N Bake Barbecue Style, you're getting a coating that's 51 percent sugar. A bowl of Quaker 100 Percent Natural Cereal gives you 24 percent sugar. If you munch on a Ritz Cracker, you know you're not eating a cookie, but you might not know it's 12 percent sugar. A look at product in- gredients on supermar- ket shelves reveals the difficulty of finding al- most any type of pre- pared food product with- out sugar in it. It's used not only in sweet baked goods, desserts, and soft drinks, but also in sauces, many baby foods, almost all fruit drinks, salad dressings, canned and dehydrated soups, pot pies, frozen TV dinners, cured meats, some can- ned and frozen vegeta- bles, most canned and frozen fruits, fruit yogurt, and breakfast cereals. If you eat a hot dog, there is likely to be sugar in the meat, in the ketchup or relish, and in the bun. There is even a bit of sugar in many brands of' salt- "What is all this added sugar -'an average of 128 pounds consumed by every man, woken, and child in .' States last year the Unita– — doingto us? It depends on whom you listen to. The Sugar Association calls it 'one of our cheapest sources of food energy' and 'the catalyst that makes eating pleasurable.' Kellogg Co., which makes various brands of presweetened cereal, says that sugar is 'a solution to some world hunger problems.' "But to critics, sugar rep- resents 'empty calories,' ac- companied by a host of med- ical ills. Sugar has been blamed not only for heart disease and diabetes, but also for a list of afflictions ranging from acne to vari- cose veins not to mention obesity and tooth decay. "Sugar was 'cultivated as early as 325 B.C. in In- dia, but it remained a scarce luxury until Col- umbus brought sugar cane to the Caribbean in 1493. Within the next hundred years, sugar be- came one of the valued products of the New World, often' plundered' by pirates along with f#i!vr LW! gold. "Between 1900 and 1970, world population of sugar climbed from 8 million to 70 million tons. On average, Americans now get about 24 percent of their calories from sugar. Only 3 percent comes from the sugar in fruits and vegetables. Another 3 percent is from lactose, the milk sugar in dairy products. The vast bulk — 18 percent of all the calories we consume — is COUNTRY INN 11-11 RIGS • 11-11 CHICKEN • from sugar that is added to our food. Whether in pac- kaged salad dressing or in Hostess Twinkies, sugar is the leading additive in the United States today." WANT A SKIMPY SANDWICH?
