Hi
I tend to try and avoid eating anything with too much added sugar, and keep my carb intake relatively low. However, which would people say is best: a food that is high in sugar but low in overall carbohydrate, or one that is low in sugar but high in total carb?
So take breakfast cereal for example. Would it be better to eat something like Shredded Wheat, which has only 0.7g of sugar per 100g but 69.3g total carbohydrate, or would I be better off with All Bran, which has 17g of sugar but only 48g total carbohydrate?
I guess there's not going to be a hard & fast answer, but I'd be interested to know if there was a consensus.
Thanks
Dan
