Our Conclusions
The product is very effective in modern day life within music, pop culture, an advertisement. For example, in music many artists use words such as "sugar" or "honey" to describe their relationships or loved ones. While in advertisements sugar is an enticing pull to the younger audience. Lastly in pop culture many tv shows introduce characters names and favorite foods with sugar to relate or pulling in watchers to the characters.

In music many artists refer to loved ones and relationships as sugar to describe them as sweet. While in advertisements, sugar makes commercials enticing to many young kids. Lastly, in pop culture many
The result in less cane sugar increased prices from 2008.
" The major explosion at Imperial Sugar Company’s cane sugar refinery near Savannah, Ga., in February 2008 — That tragic event resulted in the deaths of several workers and put the facility out of production for more than a year, thus reducing the nation’s cane sugar refining capacity. It had a strange effect on the sugar market, because it reduced the raw price since there was one less refiner bidding for raw sugar — but also increased the refined sugar price since there was one less refined sugar supplier."
This talks about how sugar is going to be increasing over the next decade and results of a decrease in the stock-to-use ratio, meaning that there is going to be more sugar used.
“The anticipated growth in world sugar demand for the next decade is steadier with an increase of 2% p.a. resulting in a decrease of the stock-to-use ratio from 45% in the base period to 39% in 2025. However, the growth in demand is mixed with nearly no growth in the matured developed countries and stronger prospects in developing countries, in particular Africa and Asia. In developing countries with high sugar calorie intake, no noticeable changes in consumer habits are foreseen, as sugar is an available, cheap source of energy, which is easy to transport and store.”
Sugar affects our heart by having to much sugar. Like when you have to much sugar you get high blood pressure, debates, and brain damage
The central idea of the text is that sugar is not good for you because you can get diabetes heart issue that’s not good for your. Sugar can also get high blood pressure
This stresses your heart and damages it over time. This can lead to heart disease, like heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.
The central idea of this text is that sugar can stress your heart out. you can get high cholesterol levels or diabetes. just by sugar that you eat
“In this study, a small molecule, glucose 6-phosphate (G6P), which is a product of sugar from food, was shown to cause stress to the heart.”
The central idea of the text is that having to much sugar can get you a heart both contributors to heart disease.
"Another possibility is that high carbohydrate intake—sugar is a carbohydrate—can increase triglyceride levels in the blood. And triglycerides are fat, which can end up in the arteries," she adds. High sugar intake has also been linked to elevated blood pressure and lowered HDL (good) cholesterol levels, both contributors to heart disease.

The central idea is that sugar is not good for the brain and causes many different things.
“Sugar has drug-like effects in the reward center of the brain. Scientists have proposed that sweet foods—along with salty and fatty foods—can produce addiction-like effects in the human brain, driving the loss of self-control, overeating, and subsequent weight gain”
“A study published PLoS One found that sweet foods can be more addictive than cocaine. Though the research was performed on animals, investigators found that intense sweetness can surpass cocaine reward, even in drug-sensitized and -addicted individuals.”
“Even a single instance of elevated glucose in the bloodstream can be harmful to the brain, resulting in slowed cognitive function and deficits in memory and attention.”
“Sugar also affects mood. In healthy young people, the ability to process emotion is compromised with elevated blood glucose, according to a brain imaging study.”
“One of the largest studies to link sugar with depression—an analysis of dietary consumption and mood of 23,245 individuals enrolled in the Whitehall II study—found higher rates of sugar consumption was associated with a greater incidence of depression.”
“Blood vessel damage is the major cause of the vascular complications of diabetes, leading to other problems, such as damage to blood vessels in the brain and eyes causing retinopathy.”
“Studies of long-term diabetics show progressive brain damage leading to deficits in learning, memory, motor speed, and other cognitive functions.”
“Even in those without diabetes, higher sugar consumption is associated with lower scores on tests of cognitive function.”
“The brain uses more energy than any other organ in the human body and glucose is its primary source of fuel. “
The central idea is that sugar is bad for the brain if you have too much of it.
“Brain functions such as thinking, memory, and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source. If there isn’t enough glucose in the brain, for example, neurotransmitters, the brain’s chemical messengers, are not produced and communication between neurons breaks down.”
“‘The brain is dependent on sugar as its main fuel,’ says Vera Novak, MD, PhD, an HMS associate professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. ‘It cannot be without it.’”
“Although the brain needs glucose, too much of this energy source can be a bad thing. A 2012 study in animals by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles indicated a positive relationship between the consumption of fructose, another form of sugar, and the aging of cells, while a 2009 study, also using an animal model, conducted by a team of scientists at the University of Montreal and Boston College, linked excess glucose consumption to memory and cognitive deficiencies.”
“Long-term diabetes—either type 1 or type 2—has many consequences for the brain and for neurons in the brain, says Novak. High blood glucose levels can affect the brain’s functional connectivity, which links brain regions that share functional properties, and brain matter. It can cause the brain to atrophy or shrink. And it can lead to small-vessel disease, which restricts blood flow in the brain, causing cognitive difficulties and, if severe enough, spurring the development of vascular dementia.”
The central idea is that sugar can start being addictive after a short period of time.
“Whenever we learn something new or experience something pleasurable, our brain’s reward system becomes activated. With the help of natural brain chemicals, several brain areas communicate with each other to help us learn and repeat behaviors that improve our knowledge and well-being.”
“However, certain substances, such as drugs, hijack the brain’s reward system, ‘artificially’ activating it. Telling the brain to repeat pleasure-seeking behavior constantly is the mechanism behind addiction.”
“‘In fact, the opioid system, which is that part of the brain’s chemistry that is associated with well-being and pleasure, was already activated after the very first intake,’ adds the study’s lead author.”
“Specifically, there were alterations in the ‘striatum, nucleus accumbens, thalamus, amygdala, cingulate cortex, and prefrontal cortex’ after the sugar intake.”
“The findings, conclude the researchers, imply that ‘foods high in sucrose influence brain reward circuitry in ways similar to those observed when addictive drugs are consumed.’”
Does the consumption of sugar decrease the bacteria fighting cells within your immune system?

The central idea is ways to boost and bust your immune system
The consumption of too much sugar damages your white blood cells hours after consumption.
“Eating or drinking too much sugar curbs immune system cells that attack bacteria. This effect lasts for at least a few hours after downing a couple of sugary drinks.”

The effects of large consumptions of sugar on you're health
“But, apart from leading to, among other things, weight gain, blood sugar problems and an increased risk of heart disease, could the "root of all (nutritional) evil" also have an effect on your immunity?
There is a widespread belief that sugar weakens the immune system, mainly based on a 1970s study where people donated blood before and after consuming large amounts of sugar. The researchers found that after a large dose of sugar, certain white blood cells (neutrophils) were less aggressive in destroying bacteria.”

tress also suppresses immunity, so these sugar-users are setting themselves up to get sick at a time when they need to be well.
An overdose of sugar. Eating or drinking 100 grams (8 tbsp.) of sugar, the equivalent of two- and-a-half 12-ounce cans of soda, can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by 40 percent.
