[QUOTE="If_only, post: 2409229, member: 543116"] Hi Why is it that there is sooooo much sugar in a tin of chopped tomato? I can't eat them raw, for me the taste is disgusting. However I do make my own sauces and have until my diagnosis of T2, have used a tin when I cook. I am following the "bland low carb and low sugar regime. I have done for the past month and have set myself a goal of being strict. I have not eaten anything unhealthy or high in sugar or carb (though I am not going to count carbs to the absolute). I can do this until my BG is stable and in range. But the thing that really annoys me today is why can't I find a tin of chopped tomato in the supermarket that doesn't have a bucket load of sugar? Even the better quality tins that have a flavour still has as someone said nearly as much sugar as a can of coke. Does sugar cook out when you heat it up? It really annoys me, I am temped to say after my 3 month goal, **** IT! , I'm making it now and then, this disease is not going to rob me of anything else. Ohhh don't get me started with baked beans. If I can only have a teaspoon of them then there is no point having them in the first place. AAARRRRHHHH If only I can kickstart my sleeping b cells. [/QUOTE]
