lisättyineitä

Lisättyineitä, also known as "added sugars," refers to sugars that are added to food during processing or preparation, rather than naturally occurring in the food. These sugars are often used to enhance the taste, texture, or shelf life of foods. Common sources of added sugars include table sugar, honey, corn syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup. Added sugars are found in a wide range of processed foods and beverages, such as sodas, candies, baked goods, and many packaged snacks. The consumption of added sugars has been linked to various health issues, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. Therefore, it is recommended to limit the intake of added sugars and opt for foods that are naturally sweetened or minimally processed.
