This is how much sugar you are [possibly] eating.

I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you're a hunter-gatherer.
So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I'm not an exception.
It's pretty common to add a bit of sugar to tomato sauce tho.
Like a teaspoon or less. That looks like more. But someone else mentioned that this could be the sugar content from the tomatoes, which is okay.
Yes just a pinch, only if necessary. The second one says 'no sugar added' so it might as well be the sugars from all the ingredients.
