Added Sugars vs. Natural Sugars
It’s important to differentiate between natural sugars (found in whole fruits and milk) and added sugars (found in sodas, candies, and processed foods). Natural sugars come packaged with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Added sugars offer zero nutritional value and are just “empty calories.”
Frequently Asked Questions
