Good work. Sugar addiction is a tough one to beat, but it sounds like you're ready to beat it. Keep it up.

Thanks. What astonished me today was finding out pickled herring with onions and sauerkraut contains added sugar and sweeteners.
That shit is unavoidable🫠
It's everywhere. Best you can do is minimize exposure.
The best you can do is grow/raise your own food. Second to that is buying only raw ingredients, veggies, and meat instead of packaged products. Third is using packaged products with only whole food ingredients (no preservatives, spices, etc). They're not common, but they do exist.
In my country it is usual to cook from scratch.
