Sugar is a type of carbohydrate

 Sugar is a type of carbohydrate that is found naturally in many types of fruit, vegetables, and grains. It is also found in processed foods and beverages, such as cookies, cakes, and soda. Sugar is often added to these products to make them taste sweet.

Sugar is an important source of energy for the body, but it is also important to consume it in moderation. Too much sugar can contribute to weight gain, tooth decay, and other health problems. It is recommended to limit your intake of added sugars, which are sugars that are added to foods during processing or preparation, rather than those that are naturally occurring. The American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugars per day, and men consume no more than 9 teaspoons (36 grams) per day.
