Sugar Comes in All Shapes and Sizes

Sugar comes in all different shapes and sizes. It can sometimes be white table sugar, the sugar that is added to foods or drinks like soda, it can come from carbohydrates, or the sugar that occurs naturally in certain foods like fruit. What makes them different is how they are built and how they behave in the body. Use the slides to the right to learn about the sugar you eat!

For example, table sugar (sucrose) is the combination of two different types of sugar: glucose and fructose! The glucose and fructose are very close friends and have a very tight chemical bond, but when the sugar is digested the bond is broken so your body can use the glucose and fructose separately. Glucose goes on to be used by all of your cells while fructose is used only by the liver or gets stored as fat.

Today sugar is added to almost every processed/packaged food like jam, soda, and ketchup. The most common added sugar is high fructose corn syrup or HFCS. Extracted from cornstarch, it is made up of ~55-60% fructose and ~40-45% glucose. Although it is made up of the same components as table sugar, the fructose and glucose are not bound together. Due to this when ingested the fructose goes straight to your liver where, over time, it causes fatty liver disease, and the glucose spikes your insulin, which over time causes insulin resistance. HFCS is used by so many companies not only because it is cheaper than table sugar, but also because it makes you hungrier and therefore by more food.

The naturally occurring sugar in fruit is mostly fructose. However, the fructose in fruit comes along with water, fiber, minerals, vitamins and other micronutrients! Because of the fiber the fructose takes longer to get into your body which is a plus for you. But you have to keep in mind that just because the sugar comes from fruit doesn’t mean it is “good” for you. Fruit juice, even if it is “100% natural and organic”, has been processed and stripped of all fiber. You may as well be drinking soda.
