What it is

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that occurs naturally in plants like sugarcane and sugar beets. It is typically extracted from these sources and refined into a crystalline solid. Sugar provides sweetness and energy.

Why it's used

Sugar is a widely used sweetener in a vast array of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, beverages, and dairy products. It also contributes to texture, browning, and preservation in many foods.

Health notes

The FDA considers added sugars as ingredients that should be limited in a healthy dietary pattern. Excessive consumption of added sugars is linked to increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. JECFA has evaluated sugar and established an acceptable daily intake. While sugar is a natural part of many foods, high intake of added sugars is a public health concern.
