Free sugar vs total sugar
Where the sugar comes from: Leon Choconutty Banana Bread
| Portion | Total sugar | Free (added) sugar | Naturally occurring | Free sugar in teaspoons |
|---|
| Per portion | 17.1g | 17g | 0.1g | 4.2 tsp |
Boone estimates that 17g of the 17.1g total sugar is free sugar, from the syrups, added sugar, fruit purée and chocolate in the ingredient list. The remaining 0.1g is naturally present in milk and dairy, whole fruit and grains. 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.
Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Leon Choconutty Banana Bread
Leon Choconutty Banana Bread is made with a published list of at least 27 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, flavourings, thickeners, gums and gelling agents, industrial sugars and raising agents. 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.
Thickeners, gums and gelling agents
Hold texture and stop sauces, fillings or dairy from separating.
Industrial sugars
Refined sugars made from starch, used for sweetness, browning or bulk.
Raising agents
Release gas during baking so the product rises consistently.
Boone classifies Leon Choconutty Banana Bread as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the published ingredient list. 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.
