The FDA considers sugar to be one of the following six compounds: glucose, fructose, maltose (glucose-glucose), lactose (glucose-galactose), and sucrose (glucose-fructose). By equating them in Total Sugars in the ingredients label, we couldn't distinguish which are driving insulin release (weight gain) and which are driving insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome), which is way worse.
The food industry has allowed by FDA not to list how much added sugar to any given food, because they claimed that it is proprietary information which has to hide away from their competitors.
In addition, there is no Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for sugar because sugar is considered to provide only energy, not nutrition. It is sad that that's why we have no maximal DRI for sugar so the food industry ought not to reduce the amount of added sugar to those processed foods. And it lead to epidemic of metabolic syndrome in the world.
