Sugar from the chemical point of view is a substancegroup of water-soluble carbohydrates, with a sweet taste and low molecular weight. This includes monosaccharides and disaccharides. Monosaccharides are glucose and fructose, and disaccharides are sucrose (cane or sugar beet), maltose (malt sugar) and lactose (milk sugar).

The most commonly used word for sugar isthe name of sucrose in everyday life. Sucrose is a sweet crystalline substance, isolated from the juice of sugar beet or sugar cane and, less often, from other products. In stores, it is usually presented in the form of granulated sugar, a sugar refined sugar cane or sugar beet. Sugar refers to rapidly digesting simple carbohydrates. In the digestive tract, sucrose is quickly broken down into glucose and fructose, and they then enter the bloodstream and go to the energy expenditure of the organism.

Nutritional value of sugar can be severaldiffer, depending on whether the refined is granulated sugar or brown. On average, the caloric content of 100 g of sugar is close to 400 kcal. Carbohydrates in 100 g contain about 99 g, proteins and fats are absent. In sugar can also be present in a small amount of phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, potassium.

White sugar has the following properties: white color, sweet taste; its solution is transparent, without sediment and impurities. Outwardly, it is a homogeneous bulk of crystals or pieces of a certain size (in the case of lump sugar).

Under the influence of insulin, a pancreatic hormonegland, sugar is converted into glycogen and distributed in the muscles and liver, and part of it becomes fat. It is believed that the human body needs in carbohydrates on the average is 400-500 g, and in the elderly 300-400 g.

Nutritionists advise to limit the useRefined sugar, especially for people who are overweight. The fact that the body reacts to a sharp surge of carbohydrates by the release of insulin, resulting in the level of sugar in the blood will soon fall again. It is also fraught with the development of diabetes. Therefore it is much more useful and safer to get the glucose and fructose necessary for the organism from such products as fruits, dried fruits, honey, cereals. Experts say that to process refined sugar and turn it into energy, the body needs a number of substances (enzymes, vitamins, minerals) that are not present in pure sugar and which the body must extract from itself, which causes organs to suffer and is washed out, for example, calcium from bones.
