The bakery industry contributes a great deal towards spreading sweetness as it bakes goodies – ranging from cakes to cookies.
We are all born with a sweet tooth. The enjoyment one feels from eating something sweet is, according to scientists, facilitated by the same morphine-like biochemical systems in the brain that are thought to be the basis for all highly-rewarding activities. Sugar gives us druglike pleasures. However, some researchers suggest that sugars are toxins which cause obesity, diabetes, hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease. Sugar seems to have joined the list of dietary evils. Today, health experts are urging people to cut back their daily sugar intake.
The ancient Hindu preparation known as the five ambrosias, a dish fit for the gods, incorporated sugar along with milk, honey, yogurt and clarified butter. Its appeal knows no limits, as the medieval historian Albert of Aachen pointed out in his description of 11th-century European Crusaders when they first encountered sugar cane in the Holy Land: “They could scarcely get enough of it.” Sugar has been popular through the ages but recent studies have found that sugar is harmful to your health.
