    Adding fruit is considered adding sugar? Adding whole grain would also have some amount of sugar, so that would be considered adding sugar too.

      Adding fruit for sweetness or flavour should probably be counted as adding sugar.

      There’s definitely a line to draw somewhere, but nobody is adding whole grain to make things sweeter. I think.

      Fruit is healthy, but full of sugar. Without the fibre from the fruit itself, fruit juice is basically just sugar and some vitamins. Better than HFCS, yes, but still added sugar imo.
