Deceptive Words That Mean Sugar

If you are following a yeast-free eating plan, then you want to make sure you are always on the lookout for any type of sugar or hidden sugar ingredient that may be hiding in food products so that you can avoid them.  The root cause of yeast overgrowth is sugar, or anything that converts to sugar. However, whether or not you are eating yeast-free, it’s still a good idea to avoid sugar as much as possible.

Below is a list of different words that mean “sugar” to look out for when you are at the grocery store – always be sure to read product labels carefully:

• Agave nectar
• Beet sugar
• Brown rice syrup
• Brown sugar
• Cane sugar
• Coconut sugar
• Coconut palm sugar
• Corn syrup
• Dehydrated cane juice
• Dextrin
• Dextrose
• Evaporated cane juice
• Fructose
• Fruit juice concentrate
• High fructose corn syrup
• Honey
• Maltodextrin
• Malt syrup
• Maple syrup
• Molasses
• Palm sugar
• Raw sugar
• Rice syrup
• Sorghum
• Sucrose
• Syrup
• Turbinado sugar

Sugar Substitutes for Coffee/Soda Alternatives

So now you may be wondering, “How am I going to drink my coffee without sugar? How am I going to give up soda?  I need that sweet taste.” Well, you’re in luck, because there are some natural, safe sugar substitutes available.  The best substitutes for sugar are stevia, xylitol or erythritol. All are natural sweeteners that can easily be substituted for any of the sugars listed above.  Add some stevia to your coffee.  There are lots of natural soda alternatives on the market today, as well.  Try Zevia instead of that Dr. Pepper. You’ll be surprised at how good it tastes!

Dr. Hotze discusses stevia as a healthy substitute for sugar:

It’s always a good idea to cut as much sugar as you can from your diet for your overall health. If you’re ready to quit sugar altogether and rid your body of yeast, then consider doing a yeast-free eating program.
