Sugars are simple carbohydrates found naturally in fruits, vegetables, dairy, and honey, as well as added to foods and beverages during processing. Chemically, sugars include monosaccharides like glucose and fructose, and disaccharides like sucrose (table sugar) and lactose. Commonly used in baking and cooking, sugars play a vital role in enhancing sweetness, texture, and flavor. They are a staple in cuisines globally, featured in desserts, sauces, beverages, and more. While naturally occurring sugars provide energy and are often accompanied by beneficial nutrients, excessive consumption of added sugars can contribute to weight gain, tooth decay, and chronic health issues such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Moderation is recommended, aligning with dietary guidelines to limit added sugar intake while enjoying the natural sweetness found in whole foods.
