Paragraph 1: My research topic for this paper is mainly about real versus artificial sugars. My question as of late is : What are the difference between artificial and real sugar and which are safe to eat? So far, I have found some different explanations to what they are and examples of each that are useful for my paper. I have also found some health risks and effects from sugar to humans, and why some artificial sugars that are approved by the FDA can be harmful. I have learned that sugar is basically any substance that consists of sucrose used as sweetener. Artificial sugar is just a type of sugar that is not natural, unlike real sugar. Examples of each include cane sugar, sugar beet, aspartame, and commonly known artificial sugars like Splenda.
Paragraph 2: There is a massive controversy about sugar in this time period. There are debates about whether real or artificial sweeteners are better for you, and about some of the sweeteners that have been approved by the FDA. In my research so far, I have learned several things about sugar that I had not known before. For example, I have learned that sugar is simply any type of caloric sweetener. And artificial sweeteners can be described as any man-made non-caloric sweetened. Even though there are benefits and disadvantages to both types of sugars, it is generally agreed by most sources I have found that the best choice is to avoid sugar in your diet to remain healthy.
