I was watching a programme this morning and there was a nutritionist on there saying fresh chicken is full of sugar? She wasn't talking about the processed stuff but the whole chicken or breast.

She crazy or what?

Thoughts?

    This. Also, processed chicken (frozen foods) and restaurant (particularly chains) are treated with sugar.. among other things

    I know almost all of the bagged chicken breats/thighs/etc have sugar, salt and other things added to them before they are bagged. i always buy the fresh not frozen chicken breasts/thighs/etc because they didnt list any thing being added to them so thought they were better for you.

    The OP mentioned that this was about fresh chicken.

    Speaking of frozen chicken though.... GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

    I agree..chicken should be fresh.

    ?? Why is frozen chicken gross? We used to get fresh chickens from a farm and throw them in the freezer because we obviously couldn't eat them all at once. They were far from gross.

    Unless you're talking about the pre-packaged frozen processed stuff? Even so it's fine in a pinch on salads and in pasta.
