We expect there to be a lot of sugar in fast food, and in this regard we won't be too disappointed. It is added, albeit in small quantities, to everything to sweeten it up. Even bread baps can contain sugar. Fast food isn't expected to be healthy, and as a treat now and again is probably okay. But a little information can be useful in guiding our choices. Fries, burgers etc are low in sugar. Sodas and sundaes are very high. No surprise here. But natural orange juice can be very high, as are pancakes with syrup.
