1The fructose half of every sugar molecule is unable to be processed or used by the human body in any effective way.

2The fructose half of every sugar molecule is converted by the liver into FAT which is deposited around the liver or into the bloodstream.

3The fructose half of every sugar molecule can not be used as ‘energy’ by any cell in the human body.

4The fructose half of every sugar molecule inhibits crucial hormones involved in appetite control.

6The fructose half of every sugar molecule is the single most addictive substance freely available to us.

Why follow The One Line Rule?

You’re,

• confused
• have tried and believed one thing after another as your waistline continues to expand.
• sick of feeling overweight, unwell and conned.

Every packaged food item must carry a Nutrition Information Panel or NIP – it’s the law.

Calculated scientifically – unlike much of the other information on a packet – the figures in the NIP tell the TRUTH.

There is already enough sugar occurring naturally in whole raw fruits, vegetables & dairy to count as ‘moderation’ in a balanced diet.

Fresh & whole is always best

Sugar in any packaged or bottled food or drink – is excessive and unnecessary.

How to follow The One Line Rule

It’s simple, no need to understand the NIP, just read one line on it – Sugars.

Go to the per/100g column (Normally at the right end of the Nutrition Panel.)

This amount is g/100g so is a % amount.  The % of the product that is sugar.

If you do nothing more complicated than read this One Line and put the product down if it’s more than 5% – there is no doubt that you will see and feel the difference.

You are in control, educating yourself and taking responsibility for the food you eat.

Tricky areas

When serving size is >100g (or ml) – to understand how much sugar is consumed in one serve, multiply the /100g amount.
For Example.   Apple Juice 11.7g/100g – serving size 300g | 11.7×3=35.1g/serve | 8.8tsp Sugar.

Contains its own sugar – lactose – this (unless you’re lactose intolerant) is well managed by our system. So with dairy – like yoghurt or milk the rule is to keep it natural and of course un-flavoured, up to 7 or 8g/100g in the Sugars line, is OK.

What about when there’s … no nutrition panel?

Dead Giveaways…claims on packs that tell an immediate story

• Fat Free.

  Most likely high in sugar & salt.

• Low Fat

  Fat is flavour, if the boast is Low Fat the flavour has often been replaced with sugar (& salt).

• Only Natural Sugars

  Fructose is the part of sugar that’s implicated more and more in the obesity crisis as well as other health issues, Type 2 Diabetes, Cancers and Heart Disease to name a couple – Fructose in high proportions will generally be found in any product (often fruit juice) with this claim on the label.

• No Added Sugar

  Check Sugar line in nutrition panel it’s probably got plenty already in the ingredients (dried fruit is concentrated sugar).

• Fructose Friendly

  Just remember Fructose is 1/2 of every sugar molecule, read the Sugars line, this claim often seems ill placed!

• Lunchbox Friendly

  A matter of debate – read the sugars line and decide for yourself!

• 40% Less Sugar

  This actually appears on a cereal that had 28% Sugar content – that’s more than ¼.
