SUGAR & HEALTH
Essential blood sugars and the energy required for an active and healthy lifestyle are
provided by a moderate intake of foods containing sugar. The brain requires blood sugars
for its normal daily function. Sugars are the simplest form of carbohydrate. They are found
in foods throughout nature: in fruits, vegetables, nectar, honey and milk. The simple
sugars - glucose and fructose - are found in nearly all plants. Sometimes they occur
together as sucrose, which is simply a combination of glucose and fructose. We know
sucrose as sugar, the major source of which is sugar cane. Carbohydrates are broken
down and used by the body as glucose, a major energy source. After digestion, the body
does not distinguish between sugar derived from sugar cane and sugars which are found in
fruits and vegetables.
From the earliest days, sugar has been a popular food ingredient and part of a healthy diet. These properties have earned sugar its rightful place as the Gold Standard of sweeteners. It is reassuring to know that unlike synthetic sweeteners, real sugar does not need warning labels. It's sweet and it's natural.
