I was watching a documentary where the way foods label Sugar is often hidden like corn sweetener, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrates, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, malt syrup, raw sugar, sucrose, sugar syrup, cane crystals, cane sugar, crystalline fructose, evaporated cane juice, corn syrup solids, malt syrup. Apparently the food industry gets away with this is because of lobbying and it looks like it wont be changed anytime soon.

It's great that consumers are better informed and educated now, and seeking for confirmation and answers. Documentaries like the one you watched help to shed light on the practices of the big food industry players, and at least empowers the consumer to make wise choices.
I've always been a label reader for food products and toiletries. Knowing the code words and numbers (for the flavorings and enhancers) really helps to decipher what the hell is printed on the ingredient list.
Thanks for this comprehensive post that set off a lot of important thought processes, @doitvoluntarily :)
