Do you think your favorite snacks are healthier than they seem? They're not. A new AI-powered study has uncovered just how much hidden sugar is lurking in packaged foods worldwide.

Published in Frontiers in Nutrition, the study highlights why carb quality matters just as much as carb quantity

While carbohydrates make up 70% of our daily energy intake, not all carbs are created equal. Foods packed with free sugars and little fiber can increase health risks, but many countries don't require clear sugar labeling.

To tackle this, scientists built a smart AI model that analyzed food labels from 86 countries, estimating free sugar content even when it wasn't listed. The top results? Eye-opening.

1. Plant-based milks (like oat and almond) actually beat dairy in carb quality, with less added sugar and more fiber.

2. Chocolate-flavored snacks were the worst offenders, 95% failed basic nutrition standards due to high sugar and low fiber.

3. The UK led the pack with 67% of foods meeting the healthy carb ratio, while Malaysia lagged at just 9.8%.

With food labels often leaving out crucial details, this AI tool could be a game-changer, helping consumers make smarter choices and pushing for better transparency in the food industry.

It's time to double-check your diet fam!
