The Bitterness of White Sugar


Mother nature in all her glory has added nutrients to suit our taste in her creations.
Just the minerals and vitamins are a drab and dull and bitter, she has added flavor and sweetness and color and shape to them to bring on a fruit,seasoned for our living.
Man in his cunningness has removed the sweetness in the fruit and sent the other richness down the drain.
The typical country sugar (brown to blackish in color)full of vitamins and natural elements, is soon going to be a thing of the past.
Now we want sugar, to be white and crystalline, and shiny, surely much is lost during the whitening.
I shared this with a local man , he asked in wonder if this is right how can we get so much sugar at the ration shop and the government is starting new sugar factories ?
Well sure contradictory for his understanding.
If we wanted to destroy a society,no need to do a lot of thinking, send them loads and loads of white sugar or the more newer artificial sugars to do the needed destruction.
Artificial sugars bad ! who would believe that.
Our bodies are not suited to digest them , so they find alternative ways of assimilation, and storage and destruction in the body.
They cause spike and valleys , and are the reason for the cravings for food at odd times.
I have seen families add white sugar to even the sambar,( a local gravy which goes with rice) to make it sweet or to finish the loads of white sugar at home.
There sure seems to be lots of bitterness in this“Sweet business”.
