"No sugar added/Zero sugar" can either mean that the drink is naturally sweet; or, the company added some kind of sweetener that isn't sugar. For example, in soft drinks companies usually add phenylalanine to their diet varieties.
If you look on the drink's label, under the ingredients list, it will have an allergy warning if the sweetener is known to cause reactions in consumers. The sweeteners will also be listed in the ingredients, but, as we all know, they have long and indecipherable names.
When a container says no sugar added, that means that the drink is naturally sweet and they did not have to add any additional sugar. You see this mainly with fruit juices. They still have alot of sugar in them, its just that the sugar comes naturally from the fruit. Zero sugar means there is no sugar at all in the beverage. They usually use splenda or aspartame for these drinks. Hope this helps
Soft drinks with zero sugar contain artificial sweetner, usually aspartame. Fruit is naturally sweet as it contains fructose which is a fruit sugar. When they say no sugar added they havent added any extra sucrose which is what you know as sugar. If it tastes sweeter than you think it should maybe they have also added artificial sweetner,
Stop looking at marketing lines and start reading the nutritional labels. Somebody could sell a pound of sugar with the line "No sugar added!" and it would be true, but you'd still end up with a pound of sugar. Also, you have no idea how any company's marketing department defines "sugar." The FDA doesn't require companies to specify sugar, fructose, whatever. So somebody could say "Zero sugar" and it'd still be loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. (Marketing department: "But it's not sugar! Technically!" Meanwhile, you keel over in a diabetic coma.) READ THE NUTRITION LABELS.
It means just that, they didn't add sugar. This doesn't mean "sugar-free", so the product may not be safe for some sensitive diabetics. I had to explain this distinction to my grandmother, who is a diabetic.
