Intolerances
- SucroseHigh
Cane sugar is sucrose, chemically identical to beet sugar - the plant it came from changes the price and the story, not the molecule or the enzyme needed to digest it. The composition is corroborated by the national nutrient database.

- FructoseFODMAPsLow
Cane sugar is sucrose, the same molecule as beet sugar. Sucrose splits in the gut into one glucose and one fructose - equal parts, so the glucose carries the fructose across and no excess is created. That is why table sugar sits below agave or honey here.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Cane sugar affect?
Cane sugar is notable for sucrose and fructose. Clear on FODMAPs, lactose, histamine, gluten, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.
Does Cane sugar contain sucrose?
Yes — Cane sugar is high in sucrose. Cane sugar is sucrose, chemically identical to beet sugar - the plant it came from changes the price and the story, not the molecule or the enzyme needed to digest it. The composition is corroborated by the national nutrient database.
Does Cane sugar contain fructose?
Cane sugar contains only low levels of fructose. Cane sugar is sucrose, the same molecule as beet sugar. Sucrose splits in the gut into one glucose and one fructose - equal parts, so the glucose carries the fructose across and no excess is created. That is why table sugar sits below agave or honey here. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
