Sugar is not only a condiment of food, but also can bring people a pleasant and wonderful taste

Sucrose is the main component of sugar, which is formed by the condensation and dehydration of the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of a molecule of glucose and the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of a molecule of fructose

After people eat sucrose, it is digested and decomposed into monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), which are absorbed and utilized by the human body to generate heat and maintain physiological functions

Years of research have disproved various misconceptions and provided consistent evidence that daily sugar is a safe and valuable food source

According to the global statistics on sugar use and obesity rates, there is no clear linear relationship between average sugar use and obesity rates

The human body generally has a stronger appetite-reducing response to carbohydrate-rich, sugar-rich foods than to fatty foods

The formation of dental caries is a relatively complex process, which is related to the type of food, the frequency of eating, the cleanliness of the mouth (the time the food stays in the mouth), the acquisition of fluoride, the function of saliva, and genetic factors

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for people to maintain life activities, and provide a steady stream of energy for the brain to maintain the normal development and operation of the brain

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for human activities and are stored in the liver and muscles of the human body in the form of glycogen.

Carbohydrates like sugar are also crucial for mental workers
