Clue #1 –  You will find these suspects in your kitchen. Check your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer.

Clue #2 – They will be hiding on the ingredient list of foods.

Clue #3 – It may be helpful to keep your eye out for the words “syrup” and “sweetener,” and to look for words ending in “ose.”

What do these words all have in common?  They are all names for sugar!

Good Luck!
