What it is

Water and cane sugar is a simple mixture of purified water and sugar derived from sugarcane. Cane sugar is produced by crushing sugarcane stalks to extract their juice, which is then boiled, filtered, and crystallized to form sugar.

Why it's used

This combination is primarily used as a sweetener and as a liquid base for preserving foods. It is commonly found in canned fruits, syrups, and various beverages, providing sweetness and helping to extend shelf life.

Health notes

Both water and cane sugar are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. While water is essential for life, excessive intake of added sugars, such as cane sugar, can contribute to health concerns like dental cavities, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars, but suggest consuming no more than 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises keeping intake of free sugars below 10% of total energy intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars, and their roles in diet and health are well-established.
