What it is

Sugar is a carbohydrate that comes from sugarcane and sugar beets. It is refined through a process of crushing, washing, and heating to extract and purify the sweet crystals.

Why it's used

Sugar is primarily used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of foods and beverages. It also contributes to texture, browning, and acts as a preservative in products like jams and jellies. It's found in a wide range of processed foods, including baked goods, sauces, and candies.

Health notes

The FDA considers added sugars as a component of the diet that should be limited. High intake of added sugars is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. JECFA has evaluated sugar and established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) that is not specified, meaning it is considered safe at typical consumption levels. However, excessive consumption is linked to negative health outcomes.

Allergen info

Sugar is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
