                                According to the Institute of Food Science and Technology, sugars each have a different sweetness intensity, with sucrose acting as the principal standard. The concept of a '3 degree of sweet' is a linguistic misunderstanding, contrasting the grammatical 'sweet, sweeter, sweetest' with the complex scientific methods used to quantify taste.
