The term "natural sugars" refers to any type of sugar that is found naturally in foods or beverages. These types of sugars are derived from various sources such as fruits, vegetables and milk products. Examples include glucose (found in fruits), sucrose (found in cane sugar) and lactose (found in milk). Unlike refined sugars which undergo a processing process to remove the molasses content, natural sugars retain their original nutrient-rich components that provide health benefits.
