“糖” (táng) is the Chinese word for "sugar." It refers to sweet-tasting carbohydrates that are commonly used in food and beverages. Sugars can be naturally occurring, like those found in fruits and honey, or added to products during processing. They provide energy and enhance flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, excessive consumption of “糖” can lead to health issues such as obesity and diabetes. It is important to monitor sugar intake and choose healthier alternatives when possible. Many people are becoming more aware of the effects of “糖” on their health and are seeking to reduce their consumption.
