What it is

Sugar, also known as sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found naturally in many plants. It is commercially produced by extracting and refining it from sugarcane or sugar beets.

Why it's used

Sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods and beverages. It also helps with texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in many processed products, including baked goods, candies, and soft drinks.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers sugar (sucrose) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). JECFA has evaluated sucrose, and because it is a macronutrient, it did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified). 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 that free sugars should make up less than 10% of total energy intake. High intake of added sugars is linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
