6．　　Have you ever bought Genki Forest (元气森林) sparkling water because its advertised as "sugar-free"? The company recently said that they were sorry for a misleading advertisement.
　　The company said the drinks are "sucrose-free (零蔗糖)", but this is not the same as "sugar-free". Now the company has changed the words "sugar﹣free" to "low sugar" on the bottles.
　　In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose (果糖) and sugar alcohol (糖醇), are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners (甜味剂). They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet.
