Hi Kent! We appreciate your feedback about or Coconut Water. For our non-flavored coconut water, we add less than 1% added sugar to standardize the taste and sweetness levels. This means regardless of harvest, time of year, or country of origin, you can expect the same great taste. While we’re busy standardizing, we can assure you that any sugar added is done so with the label's sugar guidelines in mind -- what we state on the label is what's inside! I hope this information helps. Cheers!
