It is important to be cognizant of sugar intake , as it can often sneak into your diet unnoticed .

Starting out the day with a latte , frozen beverage , or soda could add anywhere from 20 to 63 grams of sugar in just 12 ounces ! Be sure to stop and think before you consume added

sugar for the sake of your heart health , because sugar isn ’ t as sweet as it seems .
