Added sugars can be one or more of several ingredients; the CDC lists brown sugar, cane juice,
corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit nectars, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, lactose,
malt syrup, maltose, maple syrup, molasses, raw sugar, and sucrose as examples of added
sugars.
Dr. Ashwin Vasan, MD, PhD, is commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene. In this video, he explains the reasons reducing added sugars in the food
supply, rather than tasking consumers with the onus to track and avoid a “pernicious and
pervasive” ingredient.
