DIETARY GUIDELINES
Since 1980, the U.S. government has published the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, updating them every 5 years. These guidelines provide “food-based recommendations to promote health, help prevent diet-related disease, and meet nutrient needs” and are the cornerstone of Federal nutrition policy and nutrition education efforts.

SUGAR MYTHS
We’ve compiled the most common myths about sugar that we hear at the Sugar Association and have provided some clarifying facts. MYTH: Americans consume more added sugars now than ever before.

REFINING & PROCESSING Whether sugar comes from sugar beets or sugar cane, the purification process is similar for each plant, and the result is the same pure sucrose.One difference in processing between the two plants is that sugar beets are refined at a single facility, a sugar beet factory and sugar cane at two facilities: processing starts at a raw sugar factory and finishes at a sugar refinery.NUTRITION LABELING
SUGAR IN BAKING: WHAT BAKERS NEED TO KNOW We all know that sugar is essential for baking—after all, it’s what makes sweets taste sweet. But thanks to its unique chemical nature, real sugar (the sugar that comes from sugar beets and sugar cane and is often referred to as table sugar or granulated sugar) also performs many other essential functions in cookies, cakes, and otherbaked goods.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF REAL SUGAR: THE STORY OF SUGAR BEETS In 1747, three decades before the American colonies declared their independence, German chemist Andreas Marggraf discovered that sugar beet roots contained sucrose, the same sugar as that of sugar cane. Marggraf’s apprentice, Franz Karl Achard, began selectively breeding sugar beets in 1784. In 1801, he opened the world’s first sugar beet SUGAR’S JOURNEY FROM FIELD TO TABLE: SUGAR BEETS Sugar’s Journey from Field to Table: Sugar Beets. Sugar is one of the purest ingredients and a natural carbohydrate, found in fruits, vegetables and nuts. All green plants produce sugar (sucrose) through photosynthesis, a natural process that turns sunlight into energy. Sugar is harvested from sugar beets, root vegetables that grow incooler
SUGAR’S JOURNEY FROM FIELD TO TABLE: SUGAR CANE Sugar Cane Refining. 1. Sugar cane stalks are harvested from fields in locations such as Florida, Louisiana and Texas and then sent to a nearby sugar mill. 2. At the sugar mill, the sugar cane stalks are washed and cut into shreds. Huge rollers press sugar cane juice out of the shredded stalks. 3. HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE WE EATING? From 1970 to 2019, consumption of sugar (sucrose) from sugar beets and sugar cane has decreased by more than 30%, a drop from 283 calories (17.7 tsp) per day to 190.4 calories (11.9 tsp) per day. 6.

In addition to providing sweetness, sugar is also used to balance acidity, add bulk or prevent spoilage among other functional properties.

Sugar cane is a tropical grass that grows 10–20 feet high. Unlike sugar beets, it’s perennial, meaning it doesn’t need to be replanted every year.

Sugars. Sugars is a term referring to a broad category of all mono- and disaccharides: the simplest carbohydrates.Monosaccharides include glucose, galactose and fructose, and disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, maltose and trehalose. 1 Sugars can be naturally occurring (e.g,. found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products and nuts); they can be extracted from plants and dairy and added to SOURCES OF ADDED SUGARS The 2015–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reported that added sugars makes up 13% of total calories in the diet. 1,11 Here’s the breakdown of where those calories come from.

U.S. SUGAR INDUSTRY
U.S. Sugar Industry. A proud industry got its roots in Louisiana in 1751, 1 when sugar cane was first planted in the United States. Sugar beets came to the U.S. a little bit later, when they were first planted in 1836 near Philadelphia. 2. From its earliest beginnings, growing sugar has been a family business.NUTRITION LABELING
SUGAR’S JOURNEY FROM FIELD TO TABLE: SUGAR CANE Sugar Cane Refining. 1. Sugar cane stalks are harvested from fields in locations such as Florida, Louisiana and Texas and then sent to a nearby sugar mill. 2. At the sugar mill, the sugar cane stalks are washed and cut into shreds. Huge rollers press sugar cane juice out of the shredded stalks. 3. MOLASSES: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW Molasses, the thick, dark brown syrup you might buy at the grocery store, is found naturally in sugar beet and sugar cane plants and is a co-product of sugar refining.During the refining process, it is separated from the sugar crystals by spinning the sugar in a centrifuge. The first spin produces light molasses, while later spins produce darker molasses. WHERE DO KIDS GET THEIR ADDED SUGARS? For adolescents and teens, the mean intake of added sugars was 16.2% of total calories, with the lowest consumers at 20.4%. So, did the sources of added sugars differ across intakes?

Follow sugar’s historical journey across the world and the advances in technology that allow us to enjoy sugar today. FUN FACTS ABOUT SUGAR Many of the same properties that make sugar an excellent preservative also make sugar effective in wound healing. When sugar is applied to an open wound, it absorbs the wound’s moisture, which prevents the growth of bacteria. While there are records that date back to 1700 BCE, recent research has also been conducted in this area. HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE WE EATING? From 1970 to 2019, consumption of sugar (sucrose) from sugar beets and sugar cane has decreased by more than 30%, a drop from 283 calories (17.7 tsp) per day to 190.4 calories (11.9 tsp) per day. 6. While added sugars consumption increased sharply in the 90’s, intakes today have come back down and are very close to what they were in1970.
SUGAR VS. SUGARS
Sugars. Sugars is a term referring to a broad category of all mono- and disaccharides: the simplest carbohydrates.Monosaccharides include glucose, galactose and fructose, and disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, maltose and trehalose. 1 Sugars can be naturally occurring (e.g,. found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products and nuts); they can be extracted from plants and dairy and added to SOURCES OF ADDED SUGARS The 2015–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reported that added sugars makes up 13% of total calories in the diet. 1,11 Here’s the breakdown of where those calories come from. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that we limit our added sugars consumption to 10% of total calories, 11 making the current average consumption slightly higher than recommended.PRINTABLE RESOURCES

At the sugar mill, the sugar cane stalks are washed and cut into shreds. Huge rollers press sugar cane juice out of the shredded stalks. 3. A BRIEF HISTORY OF REAL SUGAR: THE STORY OF SUGAR BEETS In 1747, three decades before the American colonies declared their independence, German chemist Andreas Marggraf discovered that sugar beet roots contained sucrose, the same sugar as that of sugar cane. Marggraf’s apprentice, Franz Karl Achard, began selectively breeding sugar beets in 1784. In 1801, he opened the world’s first sugar beet A BRIEF HISTORY OF REAL SUGAR: THE STORY OF SUGAR CANE The whole story begins with sugar cane, about 10,000 years ago . Sugar cane is a tropical grass that grows 10–20 feet high. Unlike sugar beets, it’s perennial, meaning it doesn’t need to be replanted every year. When harvested, sugar cane is cut just above the root level so new sprouts will grow, ready to be harvested again in 10–12months.
