Almost everything has artificial flavoring, for example yogurt. I don't see yogurt as junk food. Sugar is also hard to explain because there are different types (dextrose/fructose/ lactose, etc) which change the way they're absorbed by the body.

For example eating too much fruit(fructose[sugar])can lead to non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Maybe if you explain why you want to label junk food it would make it easier to help. I think of it as over processed food. White rice for example, but it's different for everyone.
Good points. Mhzzz In this case, I should just list some of the common "junk" foods, such as chocolate candy bars, chips, bread, etc.
