added sugars
Supplemental dietary sweeteners
Added sugars are sweeteners introduced during food processing or preparation, as opposed to sugars naturally present in ingredients like fruit or milk.
Nutrition labels distinguish added sugars from total sugars to help consumers identify products with excessive sweetening: The yogurt has 12 grams of sugar but only 4 grams of added sugars.
Common sources include table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and honey.
