Production and

Consumption of Sugar

tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many
of which are used in food. The various
types of sugars are derived from
different sources . Simple sugars are
called monosaccharides and include
glucose, fructose, and galactose.

preservative in foods like jam, canned or bottled
fruit and vegetables.

●Sugars has a high calorie content that will give

your body energy that you lack.

●Sugar can provide energy beyond the

immediate boost. After glucose is converted into
energy for immediate use, the body will store
some of the glucose as an energy reserve for later

also contains other healthy components.
Disadvantages of consuming sugar:

modern diet.

can damage your metabolism in the long run.

●Eating too much sugar is linked to weight gain

● Unstable blood sugar can leave you
experiencing mood swings, fatigue, and
headaches. It also contributes to cravings, which
begins the cycle of false hunger.
