Spaghetti sauce There's a reason why that jar of Prego can taste as good as a home-cooked sauce from a nonna's kitchen: It's got sugar in it. Loads of it. To be precise, just 1/2 cup of Prego Fresh Mushroom Italian Sauce has 11 g of sugar -- the same amount that's in a glazed Krispy Kreme donut.
Eat this instead: If you read labels and compare brands, it is possible to find a sauce with no added sugar. Another alternative is to make your own spaghetti sauce from chopped canned tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and a little dried basil.

Wow. Some of this information was surprising. Some of these foods though I can't give up. Yogurt and Special K are delicious!

Good info, but people should just check the nutrition information and then this wouldn't be such a surprise:)

Sad about the spaghetti sauce, but that's not exactly a "snack" though.

I had no idea Jamba Juice had so much sugar! I mean, I knew it couldn't actually be good for me, but I thought it was at least a little good.
