What it is
Sugar, chemically known as sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found naturally in many plants. It is primarily extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets through a process of crushing, juicing, purification, and crystallization.
Why it's used
Sugar is widely used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in many products, such as jams and baked goods.
Health notes
In the United States, sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated sugar. 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 account for less than 10% of total energy intake. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
