What it is

Sugar is a common term for sweet-tasting carbohydrates, most often referring to sucrose. It is typically extracted and refined from sugar cane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. It also contributes to the texture, browning, and preservation of many foods, including baked goods, beverages, candies, and processed foods.

Health notes

Sugar, primarily sucrose, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sugars and considers them macronutrients, thus not setting a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). High intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
