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 UK Reference Intake for total sugars is 90g a day, and the NHS advises adults to have no more than 30g of free (added) sugars. At 5g or less, every drink here uses under 6% of the Reference Intake.

What a low-sugar drink looks like

5g of sugar is roughly one teaspoon. 12 drinks on this list have no sugar at all, including Earl Grey Tea, Emperor's Clouds & Mist Tea, English Breakfast Tea and Jasmine Pearls 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.
