Sugar is an extremely important element in any healthy diet, though perhaps not in the way you think. Granulated sugar, honey, brown sugar and corn syrup usually come to mind when sugar is mentioned, but almost all foods contain sugar in some form. Though your body requires sugar so it can operate properly, the sugars it uses best are the ones it derives from carbohydrates in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. These foods also offer many additional benefits, while added sugars do not.
