What it is
Sugar is a common term for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates. The most common type, sucrose, is extracted from plants like sugarcane or sugar beets. It is made by crushing the plant material, extracting the juice, purifying it, and then crystallizing the sugar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sugar primarily as a sweetener to improve the taste of foods and drinks. It also helps with the texture of baked goods, acts as a preservative in items like jams, and contributes to browning. It is frequently found in desserts, candies, soft drinks, and many processed foods.
Health notes
Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. However, consuming too much added sugar is linked to an increased risk of health issues like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. 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 keeping free sugars under 10% of total daily energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sugars but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified) because they are considered natural components of the diet.
Allergen info
Sugar is not considered one of the nine major food allergens by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
