We share resources for members to use in their communities and provide updates about the latest issues facing sugar. We tell the story of sugar, its people and the rich history of our proud industry. We want to empower you to make sweet yet purposeful choices so you can confidently understand the role of sugar in the diet and enjoy nature’s oldest sweetener. We want to help you get to know sugar a little better. That’s why we want to help you sort out the facts from the fiction and all the gray areas in between. While sugar consumed in moderation is part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle, there is a lot of misinformation out there. Sugar is the gold standard for sweetness, and people all over the globe have been consuming it for thousands of years. Together with our members, we work to tell real sugar’s story, particularly where it comes from and how it plays a vital role in so many foods and beverages that are part of nutritious, balanced and (not to be forgotten) enjoyable diets.
