Friday, May 28, 2004I've also seen reduced-sugar Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops in the store. Actually, this could be a benefit of low-carb-mania: maybe some of the food producers will cut back on some of the (excessive, to my taste) sugar in food and replace it with...nothing. (Maybe I'm just a "supertaster" but most sweetened things seem excessively sweet to me, to the point where all I taste is sweet, and nothing else.). I tried the reduced-sugar Froot Loops (yeah, I know, it's still like eating candy but I loved Froot Loops as a kid and I was curious). They didn't taste noticeably "unsweet" to me, if anything, they were not noticeably different from the full-on-sugar kind. (I think Kellogg's could cut the sugar by 1/2 rather than the 1/3 they said they did and the cereals would be just fine. Maybe they could even cut it by 2/3). I've thought for years that food processors were adding too much sugar and salt to foods, maybe now with people trying to reduce carbohydrates in their diets we'll get more foods that taste like food instead of sugar or salt. (Although I guess Atkins doesn't say a whole lot about cutting back on salt...) Got a point there. posted by Sydney on 5/28/2004 08:20:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
