WHY USE POISON IN DAILY DIET ?

First sugar mill was established in India by the British in the year 1868, to cater to their own need of sugar in India. *"Before setting up this sugar mill, Indian people used to eat pure local jaggery and therefore, they never used to fall sick."*

Sugar is a kind of poison which has been proved as a cause of many diseases. Let us know this in detail...

(1) -- Sulphur is the main ingredient used in the process of making the sugar. Sulphur is the raw material used in producing fireworks! In addition bone powder of dead animals is also used to clean the concentrated cane juice. The residual waste is dumped around sugar mills and keeps giving bad oder for months.

(2) -- Sulphur is extremely heavy chemical element. Once it goes into human body, it becomes impossible to take it out.

(3) -- Sugar increases the bad cholesterol level which results into heart attack.

(4) -- Sugar increases the body weight excessively which results into obesity.

(5) -- Sugar increases the blood pressure.

(6) -- Sugar has proven to be the main cause of brain attack.

(7) -- Modern medical science recognizes sweet taste in the sugar as sucrose. Sucrose is hard to digest for both humans and animals. It loads Kidneys in excreting it out of the body

(8) -- Twenty three harmful chemicals are used in the process of sugar making including Sulphur, Dead animal bones powder etc. The cleaning process is so complex that full time Chemical Engineer is employed in sugar mills to oversee the chemical cleaning of sugar cane juice and to convert it in to the shiny white crystals .

(9) -- Main cause of diabetes is sugar. You can eat other natural sweeteners like Honey instead.

(10) -- Sugar is the main cause of stomach ulcers.

(11) -- Increase in triglycerides in body is caused by the sugar.

(12) -- Sugar is the main cause of paralysis.

(13) - As much as possible, give up sugar and start eating pure jaggery/Khand/Gur or other natural sweeteners like pure honey.

Wishing good health of all... more  

Hi! I am associated with the sugar industry as a professional. I would like to reply to Mr Vinod Sahni's points seriatim (he has given sweeping statements without any logic and scientific reasoning):- 1) and 2) Sulphur is used in most sugar mills in India to clarify the juice and syrup and produce direct plantation white sugar; but the residual SO2 in white sugar is with-in the prescribed standards of BIS. Bone powder of dead animals has never been used at least in the last 50 years to make the white sugar which we get on our tables. The smell around the sugar factories emanates if the surroundings are not kept clean and if dumping of filter cake and leakage of molasses takes place which ferments during rainy season. So, the companies which are careful about the environment do act responsibly. There are many such responsible sugar companies in India. 3) Sugar has no contribution in increase of cholesterol- bad or good. 4) If one eats too much sugar or for that matter any carbohydrates and doesn't burn calories by exercise/ physical activity is bound to increase weight. 5) Sugar doesn't increase blood pressure, obesity as at 4 above contributes to high BP. 6) Brain attacks- again a misconception. 7) No adverse effect on body. One should not over indulge in sugar. The sugar rather provides energy to us. 8) 23 harmful chemicals!!! I am surprised as have been associated with process control for many years. All chemicals (not more than 3-4) are permitted food grade. No harmful chemicals are used. 9) to 12) Sugar doesn't cause diabetes and other ailments as claimed. Rather, the diabetics should not eat carbohydrates including sugar. Can not get to the reasons of Mr Sahni negating sugar so much and source of his information. Raw/ brown sugar/ gur/ jaggery are healthier than white sugar and refined sugar as this is these have many micro nutrients and essentially required minerals and macro nutrients. more  
While there is no doubt that Sugar is harmful for human consumption i would like to remove a few misconceptions: 1. Bone powder is no more used in the sugar industry. 2. It is suggested that you consume refined sugar which is made without adding sulphur. The process of making ordinary sugar (@ Rs 35 a kg) has sulphur as an additive but refined sugar (RS 48 a kg, available even at mother dairy) is free of it. 3. Brown sugar is really bit of an eyewash. It is refined sugar only where molasses is added post half the process to give it the colour. Refined sugar is as good as brown sugar in my opinion. more  
I had done a bit of research on sugar and found brown sugar is much healthier than sugar, as it is made out of molasses. I have been consuming brown sugar for quite a long time now and so used to the color and taste which is not that sweet that I cant even look at white sugar now. more  
I AGREE AND APRICIATE THE CONTANTS BUT THESE DAYS JAGGERY/GUD/KAND/HONEY ARE ALS NOT PURE. THESE ALSO CONTAIN CHEMICALS TO IMPROVE THEIR APPEARANCE. more  
Eat dates, raisin etc. instead of refined sugar. These are healthy choices. more  
still safer then White sugar. more
