	== '''Sugar''' is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in [[food]]. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Compound sugars, also called disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules made of two bonded monosaccharides; common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. White sugar is a refined form of sucrose. In the body, compound sugars are hydrolysed into simple sugars. ==		'''Sugar''' is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in [[food]].

			== Production ==
			Plants such as sugar cane and sugar beet are harvested, cleaned, pulped and crushed to extract as much of the juice as possible, it is then sulfutationed, and mixed with lye to make it alkaline and yellow. The impurities are then filtered and boiled in vats, further concentrating and separating contamination from the mixture, which is further mixed with fructose and vacuum boiled to crystalize it and put into a centrifuge that separates the molasses from the sugar that is then spin dried.
