Is sugar natural

Answer 1

sugar is generally glucose, which has the formula C6H1206, although the chemical term "sugar" refers to a number of chemicals. glucose is not only the energy source for humans, but also for plants, which produce is via photosynthesis.

the sugar to which i presume you're referring to is sucrose, which is a disaccharide - two glucoses joined together - which is produced in plants, most notably cane sugar plants. i assume it can be manmade, although the abundance of sucrose elsewhere makes that redundant.

Answer 2

Because sugar from candy and sugar from strawberries and are funneled the same way in the body. They become calories, which turn into fat, if they are not used. That is why most obese people are obese because they do not work off the fat, not because they just eat sugar. So no the body does not differ artificial sugar from natural sugar.
