Sugar Maintains Appeal Despite Health Trends

Sugar continues to hold a resilient position in the consumer market. While there is a general trend towards healthier eating, a new report indicates that the perceived natural quality of sugar helps it maintain its appeal.

According to Food Business News, the current shift in consumer behaviour is specifically targeted at high fructose corn syrup. Shoppers are increasingly cutting back on this synthetic alternative while remaining more accepting of sugar.
