So the 2g of sugars listed in a serving of brussel sprouts is added processed sugar? Because, according to what you just said, that means that they are adding processed sugars, even though the ingredient label does not list any ingredient other than "brussel sprouts".

You misread, or misconstrued what I said. The label calls the sugars in these jelly beans "added sugars." If the ingredient label says Brussels Sprouts, and says nothing else, then any sugars on the nutrition side of the label are natural sugars.

When the label (nutrition side, not ingredient side) says "added sugars" that means processed sugars have been added in addition to any natural sugars that may already be there. Thus, the Jelly Belly Sport Beans show 19 grams of sugars, and of those 19 grams of sugar, all 19 are "added sugars", so they're processed and added during the manufacture of the product. That's what "added sugars" means.

I have not read the actual nutritional label in question. But the labels in this thread list "sugars", not "added sugars". Sugars in this column do not necessarily refer to added sugars. You said: "When the label (nutrition side, not ingredient side) says "added sugars" that means processed sugars have been added in addition to any natural sugars that may already be there." IN none of the labels on this thread, and there are quite a few, is there any reference to "added sugars". Just "sugars". Which can be added, or natural.
