About Candy
Candy is a sweet confection made primarily from sugar and other ingredients like chocolate, fruit, nuts, gelatin, and flavors. It is popular across many cuisines and comes in various forms, including hard candies, gummies, chocolates, and caramels. Originating centuries ago as a treat made from honey or sugar and spices, candy has evolved into a global indulgence enjoyed in different cultures. While candy can provide quick energy due to its high sugar content, it is generally low in nutrients and high in calories, making it less beneficial for overall health. Excessive consumption can contribute to tooth decay, weight gain, and other health issues. However, dark chocolate varieties may offer antioxidants that can support heart health in moderation. Candy is best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
