In the US, what is marketed as 'yams' or 'candied yams' are actually the same thing as sweet potatoes. In Africa and such places you can find real yams, which are whitish pink to purple in color. The only way to tell whether (canned) sweet potatoes or the ones packaged as yams have more sugar is to read the labels of the individual brands.
