    It is unnatural since it is invented.

    Honey - invented and manufactured by bees.

    Agave nectar - very high in fructose also, oh noes!.

    Here's a link that may help clarify.... http://sugarkills.us/natural-versus-added-sugars/

    nah, fail - "Natural sugars, along with other chemicals found in fruits and vegetables, form complex carbohydrates"

    sugars aren't complex carbohydrates

    Please splain :-)

    in the article you linked is a link for added sugars--->"All sugar, whether natural or processed, is a type of simple carbohydrate that your body uses for energy. Fruits, vegetables and dairy foods all naturally contain sugar.

    "Added sugar" refers to sugars and syrups added to foods during processing. Desserts, sodas, and energy and sports drinks are the top sources of added sugar for most Americans." Did you read the article you linked?

    I thought I read it... apparently not well enough. Thanks for clarifying! :-)

    I do quite a few unnatural things on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure that cane sugar and maple syrup come from nature though. Not sure what I win here.

    i guess "un natural sugar" would be artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and the other "0 calorie" artificial sweeteners.

    and while im aware that it's not technically "sugar," im sure people can agree that it's widely used in place of sugar -- diet sodas, etc...

    If fructose isn't natural sugar, I can't imagine what is.
