Question

Do you think the new label, which will indicate "added sugars" as well as sugars, to distinguish between what sugars are in the product (such as orange juice from oranges) and those added (such as Sunny Delight, which has more added sugars than any which is included from fruit) will help consumers make a decision?

Answer 1

Answer:

Adding the new "added sugars" label will help consumers make a buying decision.

Explanation:

They say knowledge is power: the more information we have, the more accurate decisions we can make. The negative impact added sugars have on the body has already been proved. So, to make such a label mandatory is to protect consumers from what they do not know. Added sugars don't have any nutritional value, they are just empty calories. Consuming them undermines the health benefits of other foods and drinks that do. Tooth cavities, diabetes, heart desease: all these can come from an unbalanced diet with too much sugar. If you know all this, you can choose freely if you want to eat added or processed sugars. But it is important for people to know.
