If you are going to eat sugar then the original product in moderation may be healthiest, but unfortunately the sugar in supermarket products is usually processed sugar - pure, white and deadly. I don't understand why food manufacturers have to add sugar to savoury products, even a loaf of bread. The natural sugar-free alternatives are usually much more expensive, so many people end up buying the cheaper version with sugar.

Peace.
There is an evil plot afoot. Really, some processed food companies are owned by chemical companies that also own pharmaceutical companies.
