Sugar is considered a type of fuel for the body, as it provides energy for the metabolism of tissues, especially muscles and the brain. Additionally, contrary to the above, it provides many calories and therefore it is not advisable for those who need to lose weight or maintain their weight to consume it in excess; at the same time, it promotes the appearance of cavities. This element is naturally present in most foods (milk, cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits), so it would not be necessary to add it extra, except for the desire for sweet flavors. Nowadays, we know that it is possible to replace sugar with aspartame-free sweeteners, which are synthetic products with high sweetening power.

A healthy suggestion is to gradually get the palate used to having infusions without sugar.

An important recommendation is that if we do not want to consume sugar, we must carefully read the labels of commercial products. Many of them do not indicate that they contain sugar, but rather sucrose, molasses, glucose, fructose, dextrose, lactose, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, which are different types of sugars. Now, regarding honey, its use in small amounts can be advantageous due to its fructose content, which is sweeter than regular sugar, and therefore a smaller quantity is needed to sweeten. When replacing sugar with honey in a recipe that includes liquids, it is necessary to reduce the indicated amount of the latter.
