A Prime example of hidden sugar - leading to issues of overweight.
I was in the grocery store today and saw a box of cereal touted as Healthy, low in fat, and high in antioxidants. I looked at the ingredients list.
Ingredient #3 - Sugar
Ingredient #4 is a combo further broken down so:
Ingredient 4-a - sugar
Ingredient 4-b-2 - sugar
Ingredient 4-b-4 molasses - a type of sugar
Ingredient 4-b-5 honey - another type of sugar
Ingredient 6 - another combo so:
Ingredient 6-b - sugar
Ingredient 6-c - barley malt - another type of sugar
Ingredient 7 - High Fructose Corn syrup - yet another type of sugar and one I've read has bad effects on the liver.
So, in that box of cereal, sugar of one kind or another is listed 7 times. Healthy? I think not. Yet, it is advertised as healthy. In contrast, a box of shredded wheat with nothing but whole wheat and small amounts of a preservative is not advertised as healthy. Go figure.

Using the height-to-weight ratio, muscular people could be charged this 'fat tax'.
