Free sugars are the sugars that are added to foods and drinks by the manufacturer, cook, or consumer, as well as the sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices, and fruit juice concentrates. Free sugars are often hidden in processed foods and drinks, such as soft drinks, candies, cakes, cookies, cereals, sauces, and yogurts. You need to read nutrition labels carefully and choose products with low or no added sugars. You also need to limit your consumption of sugary snacks and beverages between meals.
