Experts are cautioning that concealed added sugars in products promoted as nutritious — such as flavored yogurts, protein bars, granola, and smoothies — are subtly contributing to unprecedented diabetes levels in the US. Over 38 million individuals in the country are currently affected by diabetes, and another 96 million are at risk with pre-diabetes. Studies indicate that frequent intake of high-sugar items consistently elevates insulin resistance. Less than 20% of Americans routinely monitor added sugar levels on food labels.
