If you cant remember the list… Read the labels. – If the label lists sugar, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, white or "wheat" flour, they contain simple carbohydrates. – If these ingredients are at the top of the list, they may contain mostly simple carbohydrates, and little else. The closer you get to nature, the closer you get to health.
