High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFC's) is literally in everything. READ the labels carefully. I have found that food manufacturers slide these manufactured sugars into everything as a way to make food cheaper but more addicting so consumers want to eat more and more of that food item. While the new kid on the block is agave syrup it's still a type of fructose sugar and will make my BG soar. I also don't eat "sugar free" foods as my body has learned how to use poly alcohol's which also now make my sugars spike. So, I read every label even if I have purchased the food in the past, as manufacturers change their ingredients at will. If you read the labels, you will be shocked to see where HFC's are found and you should correlate that with your sugar spikes to see if what you are eating can be changed to something else without all this crap in it. As for a good PB & J--since I don't eat bread, you might consider making your own almond butter which is very easy or go to a store or health food store where you can buy "ready to grind" your own almond or peanut butter. Most stores on the Pacific Coast have in store machines where they have plain roasted peanuts or almonds pre loaded so you just put your container under the spout, switch on the button and our pours your peanut butter or almond butter. Generally this type of peanut or almond butter does not have any sugars, or salt which is another of my serious pet peeves
