The ingredients that follow are present in decreasing quantities. But this doesn't tell you amounts. If more than one type of sugar is listed and the dif ferent types are at the beginning of the list of in gredients, the sugars may well be the chief ingredient in the package. , ,j( lrAl-"? 777 c5ie i i5ts:;-Hr I Mill i lywMr- ss 'mTf t : tFr Ucyy a .i-f ttk jfci .-,.."-.-:-::-:-;:.; ti . .-'X m 1 i i m IHmumimiii, .1 The following are sugars and sugar substitutes often found on labels: sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose, dextrose, corn sirup, corn sweetener, natural sweetener, invert sugar and honey.
