Excessive sugar has a strong mal-effect on the functioning of active o【66】such as the heart, kidneys and the brain. Shipwrecked sailors who ate and drank nothing but sugar for nine days surely went【67】some of this trauma.
This incident occurred when a vessel carrying a ca【68】of sugar was shipwrecked in 1793. The five【69】(survive) sailors were finally rescued nine days after the accident. They were in a wasted condition due to starvation, having consumed nothing but【70】
French physiologist F. Magendie was inspired by that incident to co【71】a series of experiments with an【72】In the experiments, he fed dogs a diet of sugar and water. All the dogs wasted and died.
The shipwrecked sailors and the French physiologist’ s experimental dogs proved the same point. As a steady diet, sugar is worse than nothing. Plain water can keep you a【73】for quite some time. Sugar and water can kill you. Humans and animals are "unable to subsist【74】a diet of sugar". The dead dogs in Professor Magendie’s【75】la alerted the sugar industry to the hazards of free scientific inquiry. From that day to this, the sugar industry has invested millions of dollars in behind-the-scenes, subsidized science. The best scientific names that money could buy have been hired, in the hope that they could one day come up with something at least pseudoscientific in the way of glad tidings about sugar.
It has been proved, however, that (1) sugar is a major factor in dental decay; (2) sugar in a person’s diet does cause【76】(weight); (3) removal of sugar from diets can c【77】symptoms of crippling, worldwide diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart illnesses.
Sir Frederick Banting noticed in 1929 that, among sugar【78】(plant) owners who ate large amounts of their refined stuff, diabetes was common. Among native cane-critters, who only got to chew the r【79】cane, he saw no diabetes.
However, the story of the public relations attempts on the part of the sugar manufacturers began in Britain in 1808 when the Committee of West India reported to the House of Commons that a prize of twenty-five guineas had been of【80】to anyone who could come up with the most "satisfactory" experiments to prove that unrefined sugar was good for feeding and fattening oxen, cows, hogs and sheep. Naturally, the attempt was a disaster.
