Natural vs. Added Sugars: The Sweet Truth You Need to Know !

Introduction

Sugar is everywhere — from your morning tea to your evening dessert. But not all sugars are the same. Understanding the difference between natural sugars and added sugars is essential to making healthier choices, especially when it comes to your snacks. At BeePops, we believe in keeping sweetness pure and natural, just as nature intended.

What are Natural Sugars?

Natural sugars are found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and honey. These sugars come packaged with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which help your body process them more slowly and efficiently.

Examples of natural sugars in BeePops products:

Honey: A natural source of sweetness rich in antioxidants.

Jaggery: Unrefined cane sugar that retains minerals like iron and magnesium.

Millets & Peanuts: Provide complex carbs that release energy gradually.

What are Added Sugars?

Added sugars are any sugars or syrups added to foods during processing or preparation. These offer calories but no significant nutrients, and in excess, they can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease.

Common examples include:

Refined white sugar

High-fructose corn syrup

Artificial sweeteners
