I wonder have u guys noticed that Marigold Peel Fresh had came out with a range of juices where no sugar is added in it. However, when i ran through the nutritional information and compare it against the normal range... to my suprise the total sugar did not differ alot... For example i took the "no sugar added apple" and compared it against the normal apple, the total sugar content in the "no sugar added apple" seems to be slightly higher than the normal one... Guess wat when i took the "mixed carrot fruit" the total sugar is 3.8g which is way below any other juices...

Shouldn't be no sugar added be lower in the total sugar???

but can anyone explain why is there a higher sugar content in the so called "no sugar added" juice??? i am just curious n confused... logically, shouldn't they be processing using the same fruits and just minues the sugar when they mentioned "no sugar added"???

Hopefully someone can gimme a more concrete answer smile.gif

no sugar added means they didn't put any additional sugar to the drink there but just used their natural fruit sugar, every fruit has its sweetener
it depends on how sweet it is only

if they use artificial sugar shouldn't artificial sugar be nil in the sugar colum? artificial sugar is only to make the juices sweet but its not sugar, thats y diabetic patients can only take artificial sugar such as aspratame...

yeah i have read bout it too... but since my bf has got glucose traces in blood, he cant take too much sugar n doc has advice to take artificial sugar instead, according to the doc, the content is quite minimal so no worries... dun ler take it everyday or regularly, everything taken in access is not good for the body
