‘Healthy’ Foods That Have More Sugar Than Candy

I feel like I've been on a diet since I was in 8th grade. Or at least having to watch every morsel that touches my lips. I would love to be one of those people who can eat anything they want, but alas, I am not.

So when MSN Lifestyles and Insider came up with a list of foods that I thought was pretty 'healthy', but actually contain tons of sugar, I must admit, I was a little shocked. They are listed below. Adjust your diet accordingly, folks.

• Sports Drinks and Vitamin Water - Gatorade has up to 34 grams of sugar. Whoah
• Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk - you're really better off just having a little bit of the full fledged version, because reduced fat has almost as much sugar
• Coconut Water - up to 19 grams of sugar
• Low Fat or Flavored Yogurt - here's a statistic for you - a Kit Kat candy bar has 21 grams of sugar, and a container of flavored yogurt can have up to 33 grams of sugar. Yikes
• 'Healthy Cereal' -  not the ones that are blatantly spoonfuls of sugar in your mouth, but the ones like Raisin Bran, which is loaded with sugars
• Dried Fruit - natural sugars are still sugars
• Smoothies - some of the bottled ones contain up to a whopping 57 grams of sugar. Even homemade ones are loaded with sugar, especially if you have adds ins like high sugar /calorie fruits
• Yogurt Parfaits - lots of add ins that make it high in sugar content
• Canned Soups - loaded with sodium and sugars
• Trail Mix - if you're adding nuts or candy in, these can go sky high with sugar content
• Tonic Water - your favorite drink mixer can have up to 22 grams of sugar
• Fruit Juices - some juices like grape or apple have astronomical amounts of sugar. Oh no!
