Natural Sugars vs Added Sugars
Naturally occurring sugars are found in milk (lactose), fruits, and vegetables.
When it comes to reviewing a nutrition facts label for sugars, it’s the “added sugars” that you want to limit, if possible. Added sugars refer to the sugars that are added during the processing of foods.
Examples of added sugars include sucrose, dextrose, and other sweeteners such as corn syrup, honey, and table sugar.
While there is currently no recommended limit for natural sugars, the Daily Value for added sugars is 50 grams (based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet).
