SUGAR:
“...SUGAR...We know that a free use of these things is positively injurious to health, and, in many cases, we think that if they were not used at all, a much better state of health would be enjoyed...” (3T 21.1}

HOW WHITE SUGAR IS MADE:
“White” sugar is created in a couple of ways. Mill white sugar is the result of sulphur dioxide being introduced to the cane juice before evaporation. It effectively bleaches the mixture.
In the production of refined white sugar, which is the most common product in the Western world, the raw sugar syrup is mixed with a heavy syrup and run through a centrifuge again to take away the outer coating of the raw sugar crystals.
Phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide are then added to the juice which then combine and absorb or trap impurities. Alternatively, carbon dioxide is used to achieve the same effect.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SUGAR:
- Approximately 200 years ago, Americans on average consumed 14 pounds of sugar each year per person. Today, the average is ¼ - ½ lb. of sugar every day. That's about 90 to 180 lbs. of sugar we put in our bodies every year.
- There are 120 teaspoons (40 T.) in every pound of sugar.
½ lb. = 60 teaspoons
¼ lb. = 30 teaspoons
- Americans on average swallow about 22 teaspoons of sugar minimum per day.
- In many children, 20-40% of their daily caloric intake comes from sugar. The top 20 percentile are eating 40% of their calories from sugar
- The foods that contain the most sugar are: Soft drinks, followed by candy, cakes, cookies and pies.
- A 12 oz. regular soft drink contains 8 tsp. of sugar (which is 1 tsp. shy of 3 Tbsp.)
- Six teaspoons of sugar (2 T.) = 100 added extra calories –According to the W.H.O., total sugar in the diet from fruits, vegetables and added sugars, including honey, should not make up more than 10% of total caloric intake. For a 2000 caloric intake, this represents 200 calories from sugar (12 t. / 4 T.)
- (Men) Do not eat sugar many hours before a blood test...It can decrease the testosterone levels by 25%
- Brown sugar is NOTHING MORE THAN WHITE SUGAR mixed with molasses to make it brown.
- Fructose is very unhealthy too. (Eliminate white products) This is not pure fruit sugar.

KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
- Even when eating “The Raw Sugar” medical Science recommends no more than 6 teaspoons (2 T.) per day. So if you make a dessert that contains 2 cups of sugar and you only get 16 slices out of it, that would be 2 Tablespoons of sugar in each slice (there are 16 T. of sugar in 1 cup...2 cups would = 32 Tablespoons)..That would be your recommended amount for the day.
- Now let's say you make cookies that required only one cup of sugar (16 Tablespoons) and your batch makes 36 cookies...there would be a little less than half a tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons) in each cookie...
- If using a sweetener, try to stick to honey as much as possible, but even when eating honey, be sparing. See Proverbs 24:13 and Proverbs 25:27. Make sure your honey is not purchased at a regular grocery store or Costco Sam’s Club, etc. Get it from Trader Joe’s, a Honey Farm, or Farmer’s Market
- Agave Nectar has been found to be just as harmful to the body as High fructose corn syrup
- There are now reports that Stevia is actually not as healthful as once thought. Do a Google research on this.
