Table sugar – known as sucrose – is found in sugar cane, sugar beet and maple syrup while glucose and fructose are the main constituents of honey.Īs mass production of food has become the norm, sucrose and other sugars are now added to foods to make them more palatable. But it's likely these symptoms relate to how the brain reacts when exposed to sugary foods – and the biology of "reward".Ĭarbohydrates come in several forms – including as sugars, which can naturally occur in many foods, such as fructose in fruits and lactose in milk. The reason for these side effects is currently poorly understood. Headaches, fatigue or mood changes, which are usually temporary, are among the symptoms. But people sometimes report experiencing negative side effects when they try to eat less sugar. Reducing sugar intake has clear health benefits, including reduced calorie intake, which can help with weight loss, and improved dental health. A greater understanding of the dangers of eating excess sugar on our health may also be driving this drop. This could be happening for any number of reasons, such as a shift in tastes and lifestyles, with the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets, like keto, increasing in the past decade. It might surprise you to learn that sugar consumption (in the UK and other developed countries at least) has actually been steadily decreasing over the past decade.
