Sugar Act

The large consumption of sugar intake is arguably the leading cause of adverse health conditions such as obesity and diabetes in the U.S. Many researchers have studied health outcomes as a result of increased sugar intake, and have concluded that high levels of sugar is most commonly “found in the vast majority of processed foods, especially in sugar-sweetened beverages.” With this knowledge, several health organizations (i.e. World Health Organization) are strongly recommending children and…

comes to mind is sugar. The Facebook status made by Sugar Kickers states “Sugar Makes Kids Hyper and Cranky!” makes one wonder if sugar is actually the problem behind kids being hyperactive. For years we have heard is that sugar is the problem behind kids being hyperactive but modern science contradicts. Sugar doesn’t make kids hyper and the claim made by Sugar Kicker is false because modern science research proves that there is no significant evidence that supports the claim that sugar causes…

sucrose. Autoclaving seems to hydrolyze sucrose into more efficiently utilizable sugars such as fructose. Sucrose was reported to work as a morphogenetic trigger in the establishment of auxiliary buds and branching of adventitious roots [8]. It was found that supplements of sugar cane molasses, banana extract and coconut water to basal media can be a safe option for reducing medium costs. These substrates in addition to sugars, they are sources of vitamins and inorganic ions required growth [9,…

Effect of sugars on starch The effect of saccharides on gelatinization of starch has been observed by many investigators, and the gelatinization characteristics are altered by the sugars addition. The effects of different types of sugars on starch gelatinization depend upon the chain lenght of the sugar. Disaccharides delay gelatinisation more than monosaccharides but maltose is an exception, which acts like a monosaccharide (Dorota Gałkowska, 2008). Sugars have been shown to delay…

for nature's very own drink: water. ###Know the sugar power With a 12-ounce tin of soft drink containing a whopping 10 teaspoons of sugar, one drink almost satisfies your daily recommended sugar value of 12.5 teaspoons. If you're at the movies or a party guzzling soft drinks, you could be easily having sugar way above the daily limit. Sugar causes a sharp spike in your blood glucose level which crashes too soon causing your body to crave more sugar, negatively impacting your…

Sugar is bright. Its color radiates a gleaming smile to its surroundings. Sugar also is incredibly sweet. It sweetens the bitter things in life. Sugar relieves pain and improves one’s mood. Coffee, on the other hand, is a bitter drink. Coffee, having a dark and opaque color, represents the malicious minds in all of us. When sugar is sprinkled into the coffee, the taste becomes sweeter—just like how sweet people always help our society and enlighten the world. I am amazed at how sweet people…

billion ounces every year (10 Thirst Quenching facts). However, it made me wonder, what ingredients were in Gatorade, and how healthy they are. Surprisingly, there are many ingredients that go into the drink. Ingredients that I did know were water, sugar, salt, and citric acid. There were also several mystery ingredients that I did not know, such as Dextrose, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium Phosphate, and Gum Arabic. This led me to research, what were these ingredients are all about. The first…

the fructose content but also other sugars and glucose. Similar to glucose, fructose is a monosaccharide and is usually sweeter than the table sugar despite being cheaper and easier to produce and handle. An important fact is that each molecule of table sugar, also called granulated sugar, is comprised of fructose and glucose (Freemantle, 2017). Fructose, though, exists in free form in vegetables, fruits, and honey where it accounts for up to 40% of the sugar in honey.…

Carbohydrates : Carbohydrates are commonly identified as sugars, they are the 'staff of life' for mainly organisms. They are mainly rich class of biomolecules in nature, based on mass. Carbohydrates are also known as saccharides, in Greek sakcharon mean sugar or sweetness. They are generally distributed molecules in plant and animal tissues. In plants, and arthropods, carbohydrates from the skeletal structures, they also provide as food reserves in plants and animals. They are main energy…

Sugar refers to carbohydrates. Sugars are employed by yeast during the early stages of fermentation. Extra sugars are used to increase gas production by the action of enzymes in the flour. By this way, it improves the crust colour and sweetens the bread. During baking, the reducing sugars in dough combine with amino acids from protein to undergo Maillard reaction giving attractive brown colours to the whole wheat bread. Duncan states that the concentration of the reducing sugars present is…
