to so many things that normally should NOT have sugar...

Like Planters Dry Roasted Sunflower seeds! I bought these in place of my usual store brand seeds because they were on sale at Walmart and after bringing them home I noticed one of the "ingredients" As SUGAR! Now come on....sunflower seeds are naturally sweet..why add sugar! Grrr.

To keep everyone coming back for more!

Sad, isn't it?

One of the reasons is that when you remove fat, you remove a lot of flavor - so foods that are lower in fat genrally have added sugar and/or salt to make up for it!

Dry roasted sunflower seeds are not lowfat...

Dry roasted nuts have "seasoning" on them to make them taste "better" e.i. sugar and salt. Think how addictive and evil kettle korn is!

Sugar is a dirt-cheap flavor enhancer and food extender.

Gave them to my kids...bought myself seeds with out sugar. Moral of the story: Read Labels before buying

There's sugar in my Garlic & Parsley Salt. Garlic is a flavor enhancer in and of itself...Why would you need to add sugar. Worst of all, Sugar is higher on the list than parsley:

Salt, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Parsley

They oughta call it Garlic and Sugar Salt...since there's more sugar than Parsley.

Yeah, my favorite "spicy pepper blend", when I looked at the nutrition and ingredients, has SUGAR as one of the main ingredients. I couldn't believe it. In pepper! I figure, that does it. If you can put sugar in pepper, there's nothing you can't put it in.
