Because it\u2019s high in sugar, frequent or large servings can add up calories and may make it harder to keep blood sugar and overall energy balance in check\u2014especially if you already have sweet snacks or drinks in your day. On the positive side, it can be used to add sweetness without needing extra fats, but it still counts as added sugar.","healthier_tips":["Use a small amount when sweetening coffee\/tea or cooking\u2014start with half the usual sugar.","Pair sweets with a more filling meal: for example, have dessert after a main meal rather than as a stand-alone snack.","Choose less sweet options more often (fruit, yogurt, or unsweetened drinks) to reduce added sugar across your 3 meals and 1\u20132 snacks.","If you\u2019re having a sweet snack, balance the rest of the day with fiber-rich foods (vegetables, beans, whole grains) to help you feel fuller."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/sugar-coconut-sap?agent=true"}}}
