So, jam with sugar and vegetable oil as the main composition means it has artificial sweeteners as the main ingredient. Meanwhile, most mayonnaise has oil as the main ingredient.

Read the composition of packaged foods and drinks and pay attention to the main ingredients. Choose milk with fresh milk or fruit as the main ingredient.

Similarly, when choosing jam, it should have real fruit as the main ingredient. If necessary, also pay attention to the nutritional value and calories to have better control of daily intake.
