where does the sugar come from?
Carbohydrates give our bodies energy. Sugar can be absorbed very quickly by the body and used as energy. The body stores the energy it does not need as glycogen (gly-co-jen) in the liver. Sugar can come from sugar cane or the root of the sugar beet plant. Maple syrup (from maple trees) and honey are also almost all made of sugar. They contain very small amounts of other chemicals which make them look and taste different.
