Sugar is naturally made up of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients, along with fats and proteins, that are essential to the human diet. Sugars are simple carbohydrates that are found naturally in many foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and milk, as well as in processed foods like candy, soda, and baked goods. When we eat carbohydrates, our bodies break them down into sugars, which provide energy for our cells to function properly.
