What it is

Sugar is a common carbohydrate found naturally in many plants. It is typically extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, then purified and crystallized to produce the sugar we use.

Why it's used

Sugar is widely used as a sweetener in foods and beverages. It also helps with texture, adds bulk, and can act as a preservative in products like jams. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, soft drinks, and many processed foods.

Health notes

Sugar is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides energy to the body. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sugars and did not set a numeric limit, considering them normal dietary components. Excessive intake of added sugars is linked to health concerns such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
