Total sugars vs added sugars

The sugar figure on a nutrition label is total sugars: it includes sugar added as syrups and sauces, but also the natural lactose in milk. So a plain latte with no syrup still shows several grams of sugar.

The FDA Daily Value for added sugars is 50g a day. At 5g of total sugars or less, every drink here contains no more than a tenth of that. Most contain even less added sugar, because part of the total comes from milk.

What a low-sugar drink looks like

5g of sugar is roughly one teaspoon. 8 drinks on this list have no sugar at all, including Unsweet Tea, Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi and Lipton Brisk No Calorie Peach Iced Green Tea. Anything above zero usually comes from a splash of milk or a little added sweetener.

Zero sugar doesn’t always mean unsweetened: diet sodas and sugar-free syrups use non-sugar sweeteners instead.
