The word sugar is said to come from the Sanskrit word, sharkara. Sugar is generally clas- sified in 3 groups: sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar), and fructose (found in many foods). Commonly derived from sugar cane and sugar beets, , sucrose has a pleasing, ‘c/ , sweet taste and, histori- \. cally, has been the most , common food sweetener. Unfortunately, overcon- sumption of sucrose and it's lower-cost cousin, high-fructose corn syr- up, has led to a host of human health concerns. Lactose is similar in chem- ical (but not digestive) makeup to sucrose, but with only about 20% of the sweetness. Fructose (e.g., in berries) has been recommended for people with blood sugar issues due its low GI (Glycemic Index); however, this benefit is now somewhat tempered by other dietary/health concerns. The USDA suggests to choose and prepare food with little added sugar and caloric sweeteners. I hope this helps answer your ques- tion (given the limited space). — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian March Is National Nutrition Month! Integrated. Nutrition, LLC, 32401 Northwestern Hwy.
