What it is

Sugar, also known as sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found naturally in many plants. It is primarily extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, then purified and crystallized to produce the familiar white granules.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar primarily as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods. It also contributes to texture, moisture retention, and browning in baked goods, commonly found in desserts, pastries, cakes, and sweet beverages.

Health notes

Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While it provides energy, excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health concerns. 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 limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set an acceptable daily intake.
