What it is
Sugar, also known as sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found in many plants. It is primarily extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, which are then processed and refined to produce the white crystalline sugar we commonly use.
Why it's used
Sugar is widely used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also functions as a preservative in jams and jellies, contributes to texture in baked goods, and aids in browning. It is a key ingredient in desserts, candies, processed foods, and many beverages.
Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers sugar to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). JECFA has evaluated sugar. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans state that no amount of added sugars is recommended, and advise consuming 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. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases.
