Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

Sugar is the generic name for sweet, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.

There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.

Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose, and galactose.

The "table sugar" or "granulated sugar" most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.

Sugar is used in prepared foods (e.g., cookies and cakes) and it is added to some foods and beverages (e.g., coffee and tea).

In the body, sucrose is hydrolysed into the simple sugars fructose and glucose.

Other disaccharides include maltose from malted grain, and lactose from milk.

Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.

Some other chemical substances, such as glycerol may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars.

Low-calorie food substitutes for sugar, described as artificial sweeteners, include aspartame and sucralose, a chlorinated derivative of sucrose.
