Watch out for added sugar

You're probably eating more sugar than you realize. The average person takes in 22 teaspoons of sugar a day--more than three times the amount suggested by the American Heart Association.

The white stuff is added to foods that don't even taste sweet, such as breads, condiments, and sauces. Read food labels carefully: ingredients are listed in the order of how much is in the food, so if sugar is near the top, put it back on the shelf.
