Problem
The Dietary Guidelines urge people to choose beverages and foods that limit added sugar intake. Specifically, added sugars should account for 10% or less of the day's total energy intake. Food labels list the total grams of sugar a food provides per serving. This total reflects both added sugars and those occurring naturally in foods. You can tell which foods are high in added sugar by checking the ingredient list on the food; if it starts with several types of sugar then the food is high in added sugar.
a) Define "added sugar".
b) Why may "added sugar" be a problem in our diet while "naturally occurring sugar" is not?
