The idea is that we need to have sugar called out specifically because its the type of carb that we most often consume too much of. The callout is for awareness, education, and tracking your intake of sugar. “50 carbs, but 45 of them are sugar” versus “50 carbs, 5 of which are sugar”. Very important to be able to see the difference, hence the callout.
