why does the american food label distinguish between sugar and added sugar and even pretend you need different amounts per day?

@snacks capitalism

I think it's too bad they don't add GI (glycemic index) to the label, carbs are carbs anyway sugar or not,

@sampler @snacks isn’t glycemic index harder to calculate?

@sampler @snacks idk if you had a large scale system for it you could probably do it okay. would help a lot
