While we are quick to avoid obvious 'dessert foods', such as chocolate glazed donuts (13g sugar), many of the snacks we consider innocuous, and even healthy, are packed with sugar and produce a high glycemic effect, which greatly contributes to health-problems. Many low-fat alternatives simply replace fats with carbohydrates, which, if not burned off, are stored as fat.
