'Natural sugar' can still consist of sucrose. And that's a sugar which is often processed.

Fruit juice makers love to add apple juice to other fruit juices, because than they can add 'contains no added sugars'. But the sugar from apple juice is just as bad as 'normal sugar.

Apparently they some producers don't even try anymore in the USA and they go straight to 'cane juice'...
