Sugar Allowance

Does anyone know if the sugar allowance in MFP is total sugar or just added or artificial sugar?
I eat a lot of fruit which has naturally occurring sugars and find this often pushes me over the daily allowance.

    Total sugar. I ignore that one as most of my sugar comes from fruit and vegetables.

    It's total sugar but I don't even track it. Unless you have a medical condition, sugar is just a carb (tasty one at that) and I like carbs ;)

    I am like you lorijay, I have fruit for breakfast or lunch and it always takes me over the allowance. I did read in another post that natural sugar is Ok amd mfp cannot tell between natural or added. If that makes sense x

    Thanks. I'll probably just ignore it in future.
