Sure, the social graces expected in the weight and cardio rooms are a bit different from those expected at the symphony, but manners are important just the same.

16 Supposedly Healthy Foods That Have More Sugar Than a Snickers Bar -

 

Calories count... too often sugar masquerades as an apparently more "healthy" ingredient in the form of honey, rice syrup, or even "organic dehydrated cane juice." It's still sugar.  

 

The real problem with sugar is that it makes us crave more sugar. When sugar enters our body, it causes the chemical serotonin to be released, which triggers our brain's reward center and makes us feel more relaxed. That would be fine, except that regularly eating too much sugar dulls this feel-good response so that it takes larger amounts of sugar to get there - meaning the more sugar we eat, the more we crave.

 

Every nutritionist interviewed for this post recommends that we consume less than half the amount of sugar most Americans actually consume. The World Health Organization allows for more in their recommendation but may soon cut that number in half. In any event, you should probably consume no more than 6 teaspoons/25 grams of added sugar a day, which would account for 5% of your daily caloric intake, instead of the 13% most people are currently getting from sugar.

 

This list is going to break your heart.
