SUGAR
by Kathy Wolfe Sugar is everywhere. It forms the building blocks of carbohydrates, the most abundant type of organic molecules in living things. Come along with Tidbits as we swallow a spoonful of sugar! SUGAR FACTS • Researchers note that sugar is not necessarily a health problem, but the amount of sugar we consume is. Americans consume about 160 lbs (72 kg) of various sweeteners annually. That’s around 50 teaspoons of sugar per day, including sugar from sugar cane, sugar beets, and high fructose corn syrup, with a little bit of honey and maple syrup on the side. It’s recommended by the American Heart Association that adults do not take in more than 5 to 9 teaspoons of sugar per day. • Sugar provides what are called ‘empty calories’ because it has no vitamins, no minerals, no enzymes, no fat, and no fiber. It’s a source of instant energy, which is not necessarily a healthy thing. • About two thirds of the sugar consumed in a typical American diet comes from processed foods. One half a cup of prepackaged spaghetti sauce can contain as much sugar as two Oreo cookies (and also has one third of the daily recommended amount of salt.) Heinz ketchup contains up to one teaspoon of sugar in each one tablespoon serving. (cont’d)
