: What are the most common sources of added sugars? I am also interested in removing as much added sugar from my diet as possible, however I am unfamiliar with what constitutes an added sugar when I look at an ingredient label.

There are a lot of different sources in food products that are added sugar.

High Fructose Corn Syrup - you already mentioned, but this is probably the most common added sugar
Glucose - also very common
Honey
Sucrose
Lactose

How to avoid added sugars

Limit yourself when eating sweets

Chocolate is the biggest offender; try dark chocolate instead of plain chocolate or even better, a banana

Drink less soda and juice

Many sodas (especially Coca-Cola) and fruit juices are very high in added sugar; you can usually buy less sugary juice

Less dairy products - dairy products have a lot of lactose and they have some risks too; milk is usually fine, but ice cream and yogurt are usually high in other types of sugar too
