A fact from Added sugar appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 April 2013 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the most common sources of added sugar consumption are sweetened beverages?
Although added sugar consumption in America should be included, since currently the obesity percentage in America is the highest among developed country, this article should at least include added sugar consumption per capita in other countries as well. And countries whose added sugar consumption per capita exceed America's should have independent sections, since such details are useful for Wikipedians.--

Merge to Free sugar
"Definitions of added and free sugars differ mainly in their respective exclusion or inclusion of sugars in juiced or pureed fruit and vegetables. To date, there has been little evidence-based analysis of the scientific basis for these different sugar classifications or implications of their adoption for consumer communication and nutrition labeling." -
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5916432/
The merge seems sound, given the relatedness of the concepts, but the current text very much fails to make any distinction between the two, and flips between them in a way as to add to the confusion. Also of course honey and natural syrups are necessarily 'free', but don't seem to be always counted as "added".
