The sugar in fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products is naturally occurring, accompanied by a wealth of beneficial nutrients but, added sugars — those incorporated during food processing or added in cooking, have a different impact on health. — Picture from pexels.comKUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 — Ever wondered why the sweetness of a juicy apple feels different from the sugar in a sugary snack bar?
Meanwhile, added sugars are sweeteners added during food or drink processing and do not include naturally occurring sugars in milk or fruits. They provide extra calories without extra nutrients.Honey, though a natural sugar, also falls into the added sugar category, which can be a bit misleading. While pure honey is crafted by nature without extra sugars, it still adds to the total sugar intake when consumed.
The American Heart Association advises checking the “Nutrition Facts” panel to identify the presence and amount of added sugars in packaged foods, with the “Added Sugars” listed under “Total Sugars.”
