      its actually fairly simple, the initial product made in a lab or a workshop, when discovered (and when its something useful) brings the next question to the table: Can we make this more efficient and larger scale? Then after that factories are created, and as technology advances, some new steps are added to make the product better for consume etc

    I work in a sugar beet processing plant and its very similar to the way the cane juice is processed. Our facility is a much bigger scale as we produce on average 1150 - 1250 tons of white sugar a day compared to their 400 ton a day in this video. Still pretty cool to see the difference/similarities.

      @ChrisM-bn5vr Před 4 lety +119

      Makichika Actually Carbohydrates/Sugars are the one macronutrient humans can live without. Protein and Fat are the only two necessary ones. The body can either run off of fat or sugar, but the body has to get fat, our ancestors ran off of fat most of the time, sugar was a treat they would store as energy if they could find it.

    • @agiantcub8it542
      @agiantcub8it542 Před 4 lety +59

      Makichika there are other sources. Table sugar is unnecessary and our tolerance is horrible resulting in needing more sugar consumed. A can of soda does just about the same thing a can of beer does yet we willingly give our children a can of coke or pepsi. Fat being made the bad guy of the heart disease war also caused sugar contents to rise to supplement the taste that was lost in low fat foods. Sugar causes more issues in the human body with inflammation at the root of a lot of issues. Especially diabetes... but no “without sugar you die” nope with all the sugar that’s in all the processed food out there. We are already dying dude.

    • @georgebarton1582
      @georgebarton1582 Před 3 lety +275

      its just simple supply and demand at work. Most people know that the cost of things is affected by supply and demand.
      But what often people dont take into account in regards to supply and demand is the demand of something can cause the amount available to always be so high that the cost to buy it will always be cheap.
      when there is not enough the price goes up when there is more then enough the cost decreases. This is what normally people think of the concept of supply and demand.
      When something is in such demand such as sugar. The amount needed is often so great that the amount of it available is always more then enough. Thus always cheap.
      The demand of sugar causes its cheapness. IN first world countries sugar is one of those things that will always remain cheap. Until the plants that are required to make sugar go extinct that is. Or the human race loses its love addiction to sugar.

      Like you could probably make sugar by simply boiling the juice (which from what I have heard tastes amazing) but it would be brown, almost black, full of impurities and probably not the best all around. Adding lime for example really helps. This kind of an industrial process not only makes very pure sugar (which might be what your consumers want even though I like brown sugar more) but also with nice uniform crystals (in 19th century you would buy sugar in loaves that were pretty hard and required manual breaking and grinding to make something you could powder a cake with) and what is the most important thing, very efficiently in large amount.

We only knew because every year they make a huge family gathering- I dont attend anymore- but when I was little I remember there was cane juice everywere and they extracted the juice and gave us the cane to chew, it was delicious.

      Nuts contain sugars, so that's off the table.
      Vegetables in that are classified as root, grouds, and buckwheat also contain sugars so those are gone. If you want to include the vegetables with under a gram of sugar. Then say goodbye to vegetables.
      The only thing that doesn't contain sugar naturally is animal based protein. However since the animals consume sugar likely, you might want to rule that out.

    This is such a shame. If you've ever chewed on fresh sugar cane, you'd wonder why they do all of this crazy processing!

      Sugarcane is widely cultivated in India and people drink it's juice in the hot indian summers everyday

    When you view a video of how cane is processed in a small family cane plot, you realize the additions that are added to commercial type sugar processing.
    The creation of the sand like, white powder requires much more chemicals and processes than the sugar that is used and made in family plots.
    Without the sandy white powder, most modern dessert would not be possible.

      I watched this video about 3 years ago and from that day I have not had ANY sugar. This video shows exactly how they're poisoning us. A wonderful result of not eating sugar, is I don't eat any processed food now either (because every processed food - in a jar, carton, box, container - has some form of sugar in it). The best result though of eliminating sugar from my diet ... Every day I feel better than the day before. And my brain power, well, it's off the charts. If you were to name something in your diet that causes inflammation or health problems, things like gluten, dairy or soy might come to mind. But sugar is the universal inflammatory. Now, go raise your standards and eliminate this processed product. You will thank yourself!!
