Sugar Land

among Ten Cultures Different people have their own cultural practices to prepare and consume the foods. There are many high- risk nutritional practices among different cultures such as alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse, consumption of high fat and high sugar diet and others (Purnell, 2013). As a health care worker it is very important to understand and observe the high- risk nutritional practices of people from a various cultural background so that necessary health education can be given to…

Ever since the beginning of the sugar trade, slavery has been a defining characteristic. First originating in India, the sugar trade quickly became a lucrative and successful industry for merchants and sailors. In the early 1500s, the sugar trade expanded with the discovery of the “New World,” also known as the Americas. Large portions of land in the tropical regions of Central and South America were subdued to become sugarcane plantations. At this time, the native inhabitants of the regions, as…

In recent decades, high blood sugar and obesity rates dramatically increased in the United States compared to other parts of the world. The increased rate of these health problems will severely limit American vitality and way of life. In 2002, President Bush signed a $190 billion bill that would make tax payers to pay farmers an accumulated 4 million dollars a year to grow more corn. Accompanying the bill, Congress also decided to subsidize bushels of corn so American production of corn remains…

Imperial Sugar Imperial Sugar was known to be one of the largest sugar processing plants in the United States. The company employed over four hundred employees and contractors at its plant located In Port Wentworth, Georgia, just outside of Savannah. The facility covered over one hundred acres of land and is bordered by a river. The facility used conveyors to transport stored sugar from silos to the necessary areas throughout the plant. The Port Wentworth plant takes raw sugar cane and creates…

Chapter Two The White Pigeon Sugar Manufactory The sugarbeet first gained recognition in its present form in the mid-18th century as a cultivar of a plant included in the Amaranth family that consists of around 2,500 species distributed worldwide. Among them is the beta vulgaris, the same species that contains the red beet (the common garden beet,) the mangel-wurzel (a fodder crop for feeding livestock) and Swiss chard. It was Andreas Marggraf, a German chemist, who first, in 1747,…

corn is being used as a sweetener. Also it’s in everything. Nearly 10 percent of the calories Americans consume now come from corn sweeteners, the figure is 20 percent for many children. According to Michael Pollan, manufacturers have switched from sugar to corn sweeteners to put in their foods. My call to action would be to lower the production of corn and to become more responsible consumers on the foods we eat. If we don’t this then kids are going to be obese and/or have diabetes. Since 1980,…

into America faced multiple challenges including conquering the land, battling natives tribes in a bid to secure settlements, while at the same time trying to stay true to their religious, entrepreneurial, and socio-ethical roots acquired in their former lands back in Europe. Through their writings, the soldier, administrator and adventurer John Smith, Poet Anne Bradstreet and Governor William Bradford depict an America whose lands were initially hard to subdue and inhabited by a people wary of…

simple sugars, and its main representatives are glucose (manufactured by plants during photosynthesis), fructose (found in honey) and lactose (found in milk). The union of two monosaccharaides forms disaccharides, and his best-known representatives are sucrose and lactose. Sucrose consists of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule. Sucrose is the sugar we consume at home, which we use in our coffee, juices, pastries etc. This carbohydrate can be found mainly in the sugarcane and sugar beets.…

Fermentation Rate in Different Sugars Abstract: This experiment is designed by students after studying the process of cellular respiration and fermentation. It demonstrates students’ understanding over the materials and utilization of the lab setting. In this experiment, the primary focus will on the speed of fermentation in different substances (sugars) in the same condition (temperature, volume, amount of yeast). Each solution will be mix with a fix amount of yeast and put in fermentation tube…

Table sugar is a type of simple sugar. Simple sugars include glucose, fructose, and galactose(Ancira). These sugars are quickly digested and become fat extremely quickly. This is because the digestion system can break them down extremely fast. The simple sugars are also lacking disaccharides like fiber and starch which help slow the digestion process. This explains the sugar rush. Simple sugars, often found in candy and other junk foods, are quickly…
