About Sugar

Sugar is a sweet, crystalline substance primarily composed of sucrose, a simple carbohydrate derived from plants like sugarcane and sugar beets. It is widely used in cuisines across the globe for its ability to enhance flavor and provide structure in baked goods, desserts, and beverages. While sugar is a natural source of energy, its health impact depends on consumption levels. In moderation, it can offer a quick energy boost, but excessive intake is linked to issues like weight gain, tooth decay, and increased risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes. Added sugars, found in processed foods, tend to contribute empty calories without significant nutritional benefits. Natural sugars in fruits and dairy come with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a healthier choice. Awareness of sugar intake is key to maintaining a balanced diet and overall health.
