Sugars misunderstood by consumers
Sunnrs, a chemical term
referring to a group of carbo
hvdniles, may be well loved
but they are much misunder
stood by consumers, says
Dawn C. Hawkins, county ex
tension agent.
Fructose, high fructose corn
Nvrtip. dextrose, lactose, mo
lasses, turbinado and honey
are all names of sugars. Su
crose, common table suRor, Is
chemically composed of equal
amounts of glucose and fruc
tose. "Fructose contains Just as
many calories as glucose on a
weight basis, however. It is a
bit sweeter than glucose," Ms,
Hawkins notes. "Honey con
tains more fructose than glu
cose, but Is a rich source of
both sugarsas well as calo
ries. Those who say that sugar
use in the U.S. is down are
distorting the facts, says Joan
B. Welner. Oregon State Uni
versity Extension foods and
nutrition specialist. Sucrose
use Is down somewhat, but
this is due to the greater use
by the food processing indus
try of high fructose corn
sweeteners (H.F.C.S.). Dur
ing 1980-81. price increases in
beet and cane sugar made
corn sweeteners more attrac
tive. Food processors built
new plants to produce

market for caloric sweeten
ers. H.F.C.S. Is roughly one
third to one-half less expen
sive than sugar (sucrose). Soft
drink bottlers have quickly
adopted the use of H.F.C.S.
The caloric value of soft
drinks containing both sugar
and H.F.C.S. Is about equal to
tranditional sodas.
"While the per capita use of
caloric sweeteners stood at
124.9 pounds, about a half
pound shy of the all-time
record set in 1982." Weiner
reports.
As with salt, arother popu
lar flavoring, most of the
sweetening of food occurs out
side of the home. Processors
add about 62 percent of the
sucrose and almost all the
corn sweetener to foods and
drinks. The average consumer
uses about 27 pounds of sugar
at home or in restaurants. The
98 pounds of calorid sweeten
ers are "hidden" in soft
drinks, baked goods, break
fast cereals and other foods.
"Although sugar consump
tion has been linked to nume
rous types of behavioral ab
normalities, scientists have
been unable to confirm these
relationships." Weiner adds.
