Support added vs natural sugars

Nutrition facts these days separate natural sugar and added sugars. It is disappointing to see that this is missing from MFB, and it is a gap in modern nutrition tracking. Studies have repeatedly shown that how you consume your sugar matters a lot. Sugar consumed via whole fruits and vegetables is better for you than sugar that was added to food. MFB should enable users to track added sugars separately, especially since this tracking is now recommended by the FDA and WHO.

For those interested, I created a poll to understand whether MFB users are interested in separately tracking Natural Sugar vs Added Sugar (https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10852124/are-you-interested-in-tracking-natural-sugar-vs-added-sugar#latest)0
