Biggest thing I notice is on USA labels there is no % next to the grams of sugar in foods.
I heard the sugar industry lobbied very hard to remove this because a typical adult only needs 30 grams of sugar or so and if soda companies had to put 150-200% per serving next to the sugar it may hinder sales.
