Unfortunately, they put sugar in all kinds
of foods that don't need it. Try to
get food products with the least amount
of sugar. It isn't always easy.
clnf.org used to have sugar-free granolas
and sugar-free cornflakes, but they don't
have them anymore. Apparently not enough
people bought them.

Try cutting down on sugar usage by substituting
other sweeteners like maple granules or
date sugar. Adding a bit of stevia to
recipes allows you to use less of those, too.

Try erythritol, a polyol sweetener that
doesn't cause gas as do most other polyols.
Again, add a bit of stevia to boost the
sweet flavor so you can use less erythritol.
