Mildred Day and Malitta Jensen had a problem. Often times amazing things can happen when people can find a solution to a problem. These homemakers were leaders of a Campfire Girls group.

They have truly become a world wide treat.
In document 7a, it tells when sugar got attention worldwide rich people started moving to the West Indies to grow because everyone wanted sugar and sugar makes you a lot of money. The more you consume sugar, the more you will start to
With such an obsession with sweet foods, there is an obvious desire for an explanation of how such a once unknown substance took center stage on everybody's snack, dessert, and candy list. That's where Sidney W. Mintz comes into play. He decided to write this book Sweetness and Power, and from the looks of all the sources he used to substantiate his ideas and data, it seems that he is not the first person to find the role that sugar plays in modern society important. By analyzing who Mintz's audience is meant to be, what goals he has in writing this book, what structure his book incorporates, what type, or types, of history he represents within the book, what kind of sources he uses, and what important information and conclusions he presents, we can come to better understand Mintz's views and research of the role of sugar in history, and how much it really affects our lives as we know them.
Suprisingly, for something so desireable knowledge of sugar cane spread vey slow. First found in Guinea and first farmed in India (sources vary on this), knowledge of it would only arrive in Europe thousands of years later. However, there is more to the history of sugar cane than a simple story of how something was adopted piecemeal into various cultures. Rather the history of sugar, with regards to this question, really only takes off with its introduction to Europe. First exposed to the delights of sugar cane during the crusades, Europeans quickly acquired a taste for this sweet substance.
Have you ever wondered how to separate the wonderful colors from the candy itself? What will the candy turn into when they separate it from the dyes? They wanted to see if they could find a more natural way to make the candy colorful, so that it wouldn’t cause so many health issues. They think that it will separate from the candy fine without any problems and that the Skittles will turn into a white-ish color and the M&M’s will be a chocolate color. The paragraphs in this essay consist of- what is the dye made of, how it can damage humans, and how to take away the dye from the candy.
According to R. Greenwood, S. Hamber and B. Dyde in their book Amerindians to Africans they support the argument that there was a sugar revolution in the Caribbean. In the Caribbean, especially Barbados there was a change of diversified agriculture to practicing monoculture cultivating sugar was a result of the falling prices in West Indian tobacco and other crops like ginger and cotton. Barbados and other islands had competition from Virginia who was producing cheaper tobacco therefore these islands were forced to find another crop to bring in foreign revenue. Along with other factors such as Dutch expansion and a great demand for sugar in Europe, suga...
Molecules that are made of recurring chemical units are called polymers. The glue used in this experiment to create bouncy balls contains the polymer polyvinyl acetate (PVA). When this is reacted with Borax, the polymer cross-links to itself. Cornstarch, another major ingredient the bouncy balls, acts as a thickening agent.
In the late 1700’s the slave population in the United States had decreased. Before the invention of the cotton gin the South, which could only make money by farming, was loosing money because it didn’t have a major crop to export to England and the North besides tobacco and rice. However, these crops could be grown elsewhere. Cotton was the key because it couldn’t be grown in large amounts in other places, but only one type of cotton that could be cleaned easily. This was long-staple cotton. Another problem arose; long-staple cotton only could be grown along the coast. There was another strain of cotton that until then could not be cleaned easily so it wasn’t worth growing. The cotton gin was the solution to this problem. With the invention of the cotton gin short stemmed cotton could be cleaned easily making cotton a valued export and it could be grown anywhere in the south. The era of the “Cotton Kingdom” began with this invention leading into an explosion in the necessity of slaves.
The twinkie was introduced by James A. Dewar in 1933; it was introduced at the Continental Baking Company in Indianapolis (SV;SV) (The History of the Twinkie). At the time, James was actually working as a delivery man for the company (The History of the Twinkie). While James was delivering strawberry cream-filled shortcakes one day, he looked up to see a sign that said “ Twinkle Toe Shoes”. Immediately he had come up with the name “ Twinkie”, and had rushed back to the factory (The History of the Twinkie). He brought the idea up to the company about banana cream-filled dough and it was suddenly a hit (The History of the Twinkie). He had begun production on these fabulous snack foods during the summer when the strawberry shortcake machine was down for the season (The History of the Twinkie).
By 700 A.D., it was seen that sugar was diffused to the Mediterranean region by Islamic expansion and trade as sucrose was viewed as an exotic spice and medicine (Nunn, Nathan). In 1452, Portuguese sugar production began on Madeira, an uninhabited island off the northwest coast of Africa. Indigenous peoples were the first workers brought to island of Madeira to work on the sugar mills, but the need for labor was too much. To get help with more labor, the enslaved African Americans were brought in and they became the main labor force for the sugar industry. By 1500, Madeira became the largest exporter of sugar in the world (Dunn, R.). With the success of the cash crop and the labor provided by the African Americans, sugar production was seen to have spread to other Atlantic islands; first it was the Canaries, then Santiago in the Cape Verde islands but these islands lacked the required rainfall for good cane culture. This is where the Portuguese, and then later the Spanish, Dutch, and English came to set their sights on other areas to continue this white gold sugar industry hoping to expand the production and gain
Another contrast between the article How Candy Conquered America and This Cupcake is Trying to Hurt You is how our health is affected by our sugar intake now and back in the 1800’s. According to the article, Too Much Can Make Us Sick (http://www.sugarscience.org/too-much-can-make-us-sick/), “Heart disease”. Diabetes. These chronic conditions are among the leading causes of death worldwide.
sugars are tied up in a circular form of the sugar which ties up the
...gum. It is all blended together with the manufacturer’s secret ingredients. It is thoroughly mixed until it is the same consistency of bread dough. As the gum is made, one question has lingered in people’s minds as they chew their bubble gum. Why is gum pink? It is because the only dye Walter Diemer had on hand at the factory was pink and it also happened to be his favourite colour. To this day, pink remains the industry standard.
Sugar is extracted from two raw materials beet root and sugarcane , both produce identical refined sugar. Sugar cane accounts for two-third of the raw material used for sugar production in the world and beet root one third balance of the world production. India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world with 10 to 12% production of the world.( Brazil is the first)
It is thought the sugarcane originated from New Guinea in the South Pacific roughly 8000 years ago, which then spread to the nearby Solomon Island, the New Hebrides, and New Caledonia. (Tomerb,2013) Around 2000 years later sugarcane had reached Indonesia, the Philippines, and then finally Northern India. Sugarcane was also observed to have an Eastward spread which was traced to the migrations of the Pacific Islanders when it had arrived in Hawaii between 600 and 1100 A.D. The introduction of sugarcane to China from India occurred around 800 B.C. A form of crude sugar began being produce by 400 B.C and 700 A.D., the Indians began commercially exploiting it in the sub-continent. On the other hand, in China, the sugarcane was being boiled down to produce a sun-dried juice called “stone honey”. (Tomerb,2013) In around 510 B.C, a Persian military expedition recorded findings of sugarcane in the sub-continent while later Alexander the Great
