Default Re: Chicken Broth

I bought chicken broth & veggie broth at the store today. They all had sugar listed in the ingredients (cane juice, fructose/dextrose). Of the three brands available, I bought the one with the least amount of added sugar...(sugar only listed once, near the end of the list of ingredients).

Technically, I should have left these on the shelf, but (there's always a but, isn't there) I don't have bad cravings and I am using these in recipes where I will only be eating a small amount per serving. Also, I am making a lot of things from scratch that I didn't used to, but broth isn't one of them

Green Beagle - if you have problems with cravings, avoid sugar completely - ie No added sugar in any food (check the ingredients). It took about 5 weeks for my cravings to go away (almost) completely. I am still careful about ANY added sugar - I check all of the labels (i.e. list of ingredients) and only buy products with added sugar if there is very little of it and I know I'll only be eating a small amount at a time (and there is no better choice).
