    "Invisible sugar" is in bread, plum, yogurt and sauce. The general white bread contains 10-20 grams of white sugar in 100 grams, which does not count its own starch content. In order to prevent spoilage, Mei and other snacks will add a lot of sugar to inhibit bacterial growth. The effect of the added xylitol on blood sugar is less than that of white sugar, but studies have shown that it also produces 2.4 kilocalories of energy per gram, which is only a little lower than the energy of 4 kilocalories per gram of glucose. Because the price of xylitol is much higher than that of white sugar, many "sugar-free foods" even add xylitol and white sugar at the same time. This kind of fraudulent behavior can easily mislead diabetic patients.
