What Sugar Does
Sugar is like a tiny helper that makes food and drinks taste good. It gives them a super-sweet flavor, which is why kids love it so much. Think of sugar as the extra cheerleader at a party, the more there is, the happier your taste buds get!
How You Can Tell
If you eat something with high-sugar, like a cookie or a popsicle, it feels like you’re eating a big pile of sweetness all at once. It might even make your teeth feel happy, or sometimes, a little tingly if you wait too long to brush them!
So next time you see the words high-sugar, just remember: it means there’s a lot of that sweet, tasty helper inside! High-sugar means something has a lot of sweet stuff inside it, like the kind that makes your mouth go “Yum!” when you eat a candy bar or drink a soda.
Examples
