Sugar is used in some foods to make them sweet, in others in small quantities to enhance the flavour but not enough to make them sweet. In some foods, however, sugar is an essential part of the structure and recipe; for example in cakes or biscuits (cookies).

It's used in bread because the yeast feeds on it. That's how bread becomes light and fluffy.
Cakes and other assorted baked goods also need it for its chemical properties.
It's used in some food just because a lot of people like the taste of sweetness that sugar gives.

Word of the day " hygroscopic "
Sugar [ especially high fructose corn syrup] is not used in foods because it is sweet but rather because it is hygroscopic i.e. it absorbs moisture. This property allows two things to happen; it keeps the product fresher for longer and it denies potentially harmful micro-organisms the water they so very much need to carry on their lives. The result is safer food.

everything once it is processed by ur body turns into sugar
the reason that sugar is so sweet is because the sugar cane makes pure glucose out of its base elements
sugar is used in foods to make them more appealing but dont be fooled just because its pure sugar doesnt mean its bad remember everything is just bonded forms of sugar anyways
