You may have read the words "sugar-free" or "no sugar added" or "Reduced sugar" on the packaging, but do you know what the difference is between these three claims?

Unsweetened

Sugar-free products are sweetened with sugar alternatives such as low-calorie sweeteners or are not sweetened at all (such as Ania pods for example). In order to display the "Sugar-free" label, a product may contain a maximum of 0.5g of sugar per 100g/ml. These desserts are sugar free and can be an ideal choice for those who follow a low sugar diet (which is good for everyone) and/or need to keep their blood sugar at bay like diabetics but also, in the case of the little ones , can be useful for preventing dental caries (think of chewing gum and sweets for example)

Without added sugar

Sweets without added sugar may naturally contain sugars (for example fruit which sweetens by nature) but do not contain added sugar. This means that sweets in this category are sweetened only with the natural sugars present in the ingredients themselves, making them a healthier choice than traditional sweets, especially if the sweetness comes from an ingredient that also contains fiber and lowers its content. 'glycemic index.

Low in sugar

Low-sugar products contain less sugar than conventional products. EFSA has established that to be eligible for the "Low Sugar" label, a sweet must contain no more than 5g of sugars per 100g for solids or 2.5g of sugars per 100ml for liquids. These are products formulated to offer a sweet experience without adding a high sugar content.

In this category you will find many sweet products that I have selected for you who are greedy like me but are also attentive to health and physical fitness and know how much a diet with less sugar can be healthy for those who already have blood sugar problems (obviously ) but also for those who are young and healthy and want to stay that way.
