1- It’s thought that the first people to make sugar did so in New Guinea, some time around 8000BC
2- Back in the 16th Century, just one teaspoon of sugar would cost you the equivalent of around five dollars.
3- The word we use for “sugar” is a derivative of the Sanskrit word “sharkara” which translates as “material in granule form”.
4- The sweet taste of sugar is the only taste which a human baby craves upon being born. The rest are picked up as we go.
5- The tallest sugar cube ever measured was in France in 2013, where Camille Courgeon built one measuring 6 feet and 3 inches tall. It took just under three hours to construct. We still have no idea why though…
6- Research statistics show that in the early-to-mid-1800s, the average American consumed the same amount of sugar as you’d find in an average soda can, over five whole days of eating and drinking.
7- In every table spoon of Heinz ketchup, hides one teaspoon of sugar.
8- We’re not just picking on the States here. Across the globe, the average person gets an extra 500 calories beyond what they need, from sugar. Something tells me that countries like Australia, the States, and co. are bumping up the average here…
9- There is a proven relationship between sugar consumption and risk of heart disease. Guess what… It’s bad news for sugar lovers.
10- Christopher Columbus brought sugar to the New World on his second voyages, back in 1493.
11- Studies have shown that someone’s fondness for sugar may have a fair bit to do with genetics.
That information still doesn’t help anybody with the negative side-effects of sugar though.
12- Like alcohol, excess sugar consumption has been proven to negatively affect the liver.
13- In 2009, a study was performed which deduced that sugar consumption accelerated the effects of aging in the human body.
14- Have you ever heard that dreaded term, “hidden sugar”? It seems almost unfair, right? Sugar is in a whole bunch of thing you might not have expected it to be in; tonic water, marinades, crackers, bread, fat-free dressing, and among them.
15- The number of deaths each year that can be attributed to sugar number almost 200,000.
16- Foods that are rich in protein, fats, and fiber, leave you feeling full whereas foods with a bunch of sugar do not. That might mean you eat more food than you would with a better diet. That makes sugar doubly bad for you!
17- There is more sugar in lemons than in strawberries.
18- Here’s a little list of things either caused or exacerbated by sugar;
Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, acne, heart disease, depression, yeast infections, and cancer.
19- The researchers who came up with sucralose (what we might know as Splenda) were actually trying to make an insecticide.
20- Do you know why people say things like “You’re as sweet as sugar”?
It’s because saying “you’re as sweet as lugduname” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Probably.
Lugduname is said to be about 20 thousand times sweeter than sugar.
21- Scientists and other experts often point out that, given sugar is in a lot of naturally occurring things, it’s not sugar itself that it really the problem. Rather, it’s refined sugar and the doses in which we consume it. Needless to say, those doses are far too high.
