What it is
Sugar is a sweet-tasting carbohydrate that occurs naturally in plants. It is most commonly extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets and refined into a white crystalline substance. It provides energy and is used for sweetening and texture in foods.
Why it's used
Sugar is primarily used as a sweetener in a vast array of food products, including baked goods, candies, beverages, and dairy products. It also contributes to the browning, texture, and preservation of foods.
Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes sugar as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Major health organizations recommend limiting added sugars in the diet due to associations with weight gain and increased risk of chronic diseases. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated sugar. Evidence suggests high intake of added sugars can contribute to dental caries and may displace nutrient-dense foods.
Allergen info
Sugar is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
