The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) reports that there are 61 different names for sugar, which makes identifying it in processed foods much more difficult. However, learning to recognize added sugar by more than one name can make you a more savvy consumer. Added sugars can often be spotted by the suffix "-ose."

​

Here are some common names from UCSF:

• sucrose

• high fructose corn syrup

• barley malt

• dextrose

• maltose

• rice syrup
