'Added Sugar' column needed

herouxron315

According to multiple sources, e.g. https://www.medicinenet.com/does_natural_sugar_count_toward_daily_intake/article.htm, natural sugars do not count, and thus the column for sugars needs to be re-labled 'Added Sugar', or a separate column added for this purpose.

To be able to identify added sugars especially in commercial products would be extremely helpful for those of us tracking sugar consumption.

There is a way to view sugar vs. added sugar when viewing a food item. If click on the food item, in your food diary, then scroll down to 'nutrition facts', click 'show' then you can see 'sugar', 'added sugars', and 'sugar alcohols' all separated out.

I can't see it anywhere. Using android with version 23.12.5-29642

When you tap into a food item, you should see a down facing arrow directly below the "Percent of Your Daily Goals" area. Tapping into that drop down will expand all the nutrients of that food, including the Sugars.

I know you can view added sugars on a specific food item… but there is no added sugars tallied in the general nutrition graphic.

Perhaps the poster meant in the general nutrition list under total “sugar”? A total added sugars at the end of the day would be helpful IMHO.

I don’t see an added sugar in this list? Unless I’m missing it..
