Answer 1

D. include sugars and other sweeteners that are added during food processing or cooking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Added sugar is a term present on food labels and refers to the amount of sugar that was added during food processing and cooking, disregarding the natural sugar, present in some ingredients such as fruits and milk (which have sugar naturally in their composition ).

This type of sugar should be consumed in moderation as it can stimulate health problems such as diabetes and obesity. Ideally, a maximum of 50 grams of added sugar should be consumed, taking into account a 2000 calorie/day diet, to maintain good health standards.
