Free sugar vs total sugar
Where the sugar comes from: Leon Better Brownie
| Portion | Total sugar | Free (added) sugar | Naturally occurring | Free sugar in teaspoons |
|---|
| Per portion | 21.9g | 21.5g | 0.4g | 5.4 tsp |
Boone estimates that 21.5g of the 21.9g total sugar is free sugar, from the honey, added sugar and chocolate in the ingredient list. The remaining 0.4g is naturally present in milk and dairy. LEON publishes total sugar only, so this split is Boone's estimate.
NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6. Sugars naturally present in milk and whole fruit are excluded. Sugars in fruit juice, purées, syrups and plant drinks made from hydrolysed grains count as free sugar.

Processing and additives: Leon Better Brownie
Leon Better Brownie is made with a published list of at least 15 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers and flavourings. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Emulsifiers
Keep fat and water mixed so the texture stays even and does not separate.
Flavourings
Add or restore flavour that processing has taken away.

NOVA groups foods by how far they are from their whole-food form, not by how nutritious they are. A group 4 food is not automatically unhealthy, and a group 1 food is not automatically healthy.
