Sweet Stuff
Sugar is the main ingredient in candy and some desserts. Creme Brulee is a dessert that has a traditional hard shell of sugar sealing in the pudding beneath. Caramel is simply cooked sugar, sometimes mixed with vanilla and butter.Sugar Substitutes
Sugar has been replaced as an ingredient in soda and other processed foods and drinks by high fructose corn syrup. Sugar alternatives like sucralose, aspartame and saccharine are quite popular, as they have fewer calories than plain table sugar. However, studies indicate they may not be healthier than regular sugar overall.Sugar and Health
Sugar has been implicated in tooth decay, obesity, and diabetes. In general, lowering sugar consumption is considered a healthy thing to do, and people who suffer from diabetes should be careful about their sugar intake, as they cannot metabolize sugar properly.
