SUGAR’S 61 PSEUDONYMS

In the cast of food ingredients that make up processed

foods, sugar is a character by many names: sixty-one in total,

according to the University of California, San Francisco’s

estimate. Often small amounts of several different types of

sugar—from maltose to molasses and agave nectar to corn

syrup—are listed separately in an ingredients list on a food

package to avoid one large total amount landing at the

beginning of the list.
