What is sugar? Sugars are simple carbohydrates that occur naturally in all types of fruit and vegetables and in many other food products. When we talk about sugar, we usually mean saccharose or sucrose derived from sugar beet or sugar cane. From a chemical point of view, sucrose is a combination of two smaller carbohydrates, glucose (or dextrose) and fructose (or fruit sugar). Maple sugar or syrup, derived from the sugar maple, also contains mainly sucrose and a little glucose . Now comes the big question... Can you get addicted to sugar? A number of experiments on rats would show that sugar, like tobacco and alcohol, has an addictive effect. That this also applies to humans has not been demonstrated.

Around 90 percent of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. In the UK alone, one in ten people over 40 are now living with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Though older age, obesity, family history and lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, unhealthy diet and excessive alcohol contribute substantially to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, these factors alone do not explain all of the risk for type 2 diabetes.
