Today News is Big… Sugar is  Becoming Big News Today and some facts may surprise you. No, we are not talking about the SugarBowl though that is big News every year, nor SugarLand, the music group, which has become big News as well, but just plain old Sugar. You may ask ”HOW BIG CAN IT POSSIBLY BE”, national, international, or global?  Sugar Growing 

How Big is Sugar Today 

 Global Sugar Consumption to Reach 177 Million Metric Tons by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(Industry overview)

One hundred and fifty-six pounds. That’s how much added sugar Americans consume each year on a per capita basis, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Imagine it: 31 five-pound bags for each of us.

Over nine million have clicked  Sugar as a keyword on a monthly basis, just searching for related information on their favorite sweet stuff.

Big Consumption leads to…

 The prevalence of Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. 

WHO predicts that developing countries will bear the brunt of this epidemic in the 21st century. Currently, more than 70% of people with diabetes live in low- and middle income countries. An estimated 285 million people, corresponding to 6.4% of the world’s adult population, will live with diabetes in 2010. The number is expected to grow to 438 million by 2030, corresponding to 7.8% of the adult population.

Defending Sugar

In coming to the defense of Sugar, may take the multi billions of dollars earned each year, while the continued studies are adding up against the use of Sugar.  There are numerous illnesses linked to the Sweet Stuff…But wait a minute, here is the line of defense that those who market Sugar. Sugar in itself is not bad… it is the human craving for the stuff that is bad! It is the moderation… i f you intake the daily recommended of sugar intake and exercise the daily amount…no problem. Here it is folks…We have basically by law of supply and demand, demanded the products with sugar in it… Leading to the big production of Sugar today.

Todays Health CommentsTodays Ethanol

Today, Sugar is becoming big news, for the good or bad… Many companies are shifting their thoughts regarding sugar. The best part of Sugar production is the product becoming part of our fuel consumption, Ethanol. Perhaps if we would all do our part, consume less sugar on a daily basis, Sugar could be allowed to become Bigger News, headlines might read.. “Sugar is now the leading fuel  consumption”. For right now… we have to take action on our part so our own headlines are not of obesity, diabetes, or the many other illnesses linked to the consumption of sugar. DJ
