SWEET FACTS
Sugar: Sweet truths and confusing myths.
Sugar is more familiar than we often think. We find it in the kitchen, in pastry making, in our favourite recipes and in many everyday habits.
In Sweet Facts, we bring together simple, useful information about sugar, where it comes from and its role in food.
SWEET FACTS
7 Sweet Facts about sugar
Simple information that helps us understand sugar better, beyond stereotypes, exaggerations and misconceptions.
Our preference for sweets
Sweet preference is not simply created by eating sugar. A recent study by Carina Müller et al. shows that our preference for sweetness is innate and does not increase through sugar intake.

Sugar can do more than you think
Sugar is not only used in food. It is also found in varnishes, paints and pharmaceutical products, making it part of many everyday applications.
No best-before date for sugar
Sugar has no best-before date. When stored correctly, it can be kept indefinitely, helping reduce unnecessary food waste.
Sugar does not need an E-number
Beet sugar does not need an E-number. Unlike sweeteners and additives, it is a natural product and does not require additive labelling.
Industrial sugar does not exist
There is no such thing as “industrial sugar”. Beet sugar comes from sugar beet, a plant that naturally produces sugar.
All-rounder in the kitchen
Beet sugar does much more than sweeten. It supports consistency, shelf life and browning in many foods.
Alternative sweeteners
Alternative sweeteners are not automatically a better choice. They are not necessarily healthier or more sustainable than beet sugar.
