From fructose to maltose and sorghum, there are more than 44 nicknames for added sugar. Unlike natural sugar, which is found in whole foods like fruit, added sugar is introduced during the processing of foods and includes sugars from syrups, honey and concentrated fruit or vegetable juices. While your body can process natural sugar and use it as fuel, it’s important to cut down on added sugar, since too much of the latter can cause negative health effects such as weight gain, diabetes and more.

If you’re looking to cut back, try one of the 14 recipes below (which span breakfast, lunch and dinner) and don’t contain any added sugar.
