We often think of sugar as the granulated sweetener we add to coffee or the ingredient in desserts, but sugar is hiding in plain sight in foods we eat every day—foods we don’t typically associate with being sweet. From bread to fruits, sugar sneaks its way into our diets in ways that can impact our health significantly.

Let’s break down these common culprits, how they convert into sugar in your body, and why understanding this matters for your well-being.

Bread Is Sugar

Bread, especially white bread, is made from refined flour. This flour is quickly broken down into glucose (sugar) once it’s digested. The rapid spike in blood sugar levels from eating bread can lead to insulin resistance over time, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Even whole-grain bread, while healthier, still converts into sugar—just at a slower pace.

Rice Is Sugar
