For example, most fruits have around 10-20g of sugar per cup of fruit. How is this sugar any different than if I were to eat a granola bar with 10g of added sugar? Or have a drink with added sugar? The USDA says to limit added sugar consumption, but says nothing about limiting regular sugar consumption. Is added sugar chemically any different from sugar found in natural foods?

As long as we’re talking about this, how am I supposed to interpret the nutrition label on this
Like taking this as [an example](https://www.fda.gov/files/addedsugars_label_1_0.png) the total number of carbs is 27g, with 25 grams of sugar but 23 grams of it is added sugars that’s 46% of my daily value of carbs or is that 46% of my recommended intake of sugar?
