Sugar has long been the main product of the household, it is sprinkled on cereals, it is added to coffee or taken from a neighbor if necessary for baking. Previously, there were only two types of sugar to choose from: white or brown. Since the sugar was either stored in a bowl on the table with a spoon, or carefully measured for baking, it was also easy to control sugar intake. Today, sugar can take several different forms, and many foods contain added or hidden sugar. This is especially true for packaged and processed foods. As a result, people often don't realize how much sugar they regularly consume.
