Sweets refers to
sugar, honey, syrups and foods which contain a significant amount of
these ingredients. Because sugars are low in vitamins, minerals and
fiber, sweets are generally poor in nutritional value but can add lots
of calories. Try to limit refined sugars and select, instead, more whole
foods which are naturally sweet, like fruit.
