    Hidden Sugars
    We usually think of sugar as the white granules we spoon into coffee and tea or add to baking recipes.
    But sugar comes in many forms and they can all contribute to tooth decay.
    Sugar can be called over 50 different names, making it hard to detect on food and drink labels. These
    are known as hidden sugars.

    Common names for sugar

    Agave nectar Brown sugar Cane juice Cane sugar Castor sugar

    Dextrose

    Coconut
    Caramel Corn syrup Date sugar Dextrose
    sugar

    Fruit Juice

    Fruit juice
    Fructose Fruit juice Glucose Golden syrup
    concentrate

    Malt
    syrup

    High fructose
    Honey Icing sugar Malt syrup Maltodextrin
    corn syrup

    Maltose Maple syrup Molasses Palm sugar Raw sugar

    Rice
    Malt

    Rice Malt Saccharose Sucrose Syrup Treacle

    Look out for these names on the ingredient list of nutrition information panels when shopping. Even
    foods and drinks which claim to have no added or refined sugars, can contain a lot of sugar. The closer the
    ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the more of it present in the food or drink.
