    Comparative Analysis

    Americans dietary habitats have been under close criticism, and media coverage has been very prominent in this critique, analyzing the way in which Americans have been eating. Through examples that stretch from nutritionists’ opinions to food labels our perceptions of good dietary habits have been largely skewed. The Food and Drug Administration has not been warning the public sufficiently about the harmful affects of the foods we consume. One of the most prominent, controversial, substances is sugar, which is also known as sucrose and fructose. Sugar is considered to be an under rated food that many consume without even thinking about what they are actually putting into their bodies. Through these two articles the reader is informed that sugar can be both “poisonous” and “deadly”. With the consumption of sugar rising, obesity rates are subsequently rising. In examining the impact of sugar on our health one may read, “The Toxic Truth About Sugar” written by Robert Lusting, Laura Schmidt and Clair Brindis, published in Nature volume 482 in February 2012 and “Is Sugar Toxic” by Gary Taubes, published in the New York Times Magazine on April 17, 2011. These two articles examine why individuals over consume sugar and the way in which individuals over consume sugar. All the while each article seemingly points out different solutions or potential solutions to the way in which the world should go about addressing this issue.…

    Sugar Trade Essay

    Sugar has become such a naturally common thing in our day to day lives, more specifically cane sugar. It’s used in our day to day lives, from our coffee’s and Kool Aid’s. To our cereals and pastries, but how did this sweet substance get into our pantries? The reason this substance got into our everyday homes is because of the sugar trade. What is the sugar trade? The sugar trade was the global trading of sugars from the West Indies to Britain, France and Brazil. Now the real question we should have is, “What drove the sugar trade?” my thesis after reading a series of documents on the sugar trade was the popular demand for it everywhere due to its addictive qualities and economic benefits.…
