Great ?! The difference is sugar free has an artificial sweetener or defined as sugar less than .5 per serving. No sugar added means it has a natural sugar- like apple juice is naturally sweet, that's why juice is a no no

Does that mean no sugar added apple sauce?

Popsicles. I can have sugar-free but not "no sugar added" BC it is naturally sweetened with juice?

After surgery I can have apple and grape juice, but it is to be diluted with water and I didn't want to even waste money on anything that i'm not to have. I knew that the "no sugar added"kind was sweetened with juice but since the other was supposed to be diluted I didn't think I could have that much fruit juice. Does that make sense? Lol

A lot of SF products use sugar alcohols to sweeten them. They have 2 cals/gram instead of 4. They all end in OL, i.e.: mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, etc. It is what is in ex-lax. It causes you to retain a lot of water in the gut and can cause terrible gas and diarrhea. SF jello is usually OK as are popsicles. Discuss this with your dietician or MD.
