What determines whether a sugar is artificial or natural?

Specifically dextrose. I am having trouble understanding why it is considered artificial if it is just glucose? Why is sucrose considered natural and dextrose is not?

I’ve never heard of dextrose (aka glucose) being referred to as an “artificial sugar.” The only time I’d refer to a sugar as “artificial” is if it’s not found in nature, which glucose most certainly is. Are you perhaps thinking of an artificial sweetener?
