five
sugar can be used as rocket fuel looking
to shoot a rocket into the sky but can’t
find any of that sweet and tangy
plutonium well it turns out that sugar
is an effective substitute the primary
component used by amateur rocket makers
to get their projectiles flying is
sucrose which when refined is more
commonly referred to as table sugar
[Music]
playing the part of fuel the sucrose is
mixed with ground potassium nitrate and
then heated to conjoin the two currently
a program exists that seeks to launch a
sugar rocket into space
perhaps Wald’s up there it can say hello
to all the glycol aldehyde a sugar like
substance that has been found in space
near the center of the Milky Way
number four brown sugar is more
processed than white sugar
[Music]
seen by many as a more healthy
alternative to regular old white sugar
brown sugar is in fact slightly more
processed while the refinement process
for both is roughly the same near the
end brown sugar is coated in a small
amount of molasses this extra coat gives
each teaspoon of brown sugar about one
more calorie than its white brethren I’m
only eating foods less than 30% calories
from fat
they’re both mostly made up of sucrose
which means that our body digests them
in exactly the same way this essentially
amounts to making brown sugar and white
sugar equals in terms of health effects
same same but different
but dead sick number three sugar was
marketed as a weight-loss tool in the
1950s
full of sugar helps the medicine go down

the free she’s right in 1957 Life
magazine ran a spread about sugars
unique ability to help control weight
naturally this was thanks in part to a
PR campaign launched by the sugar
Association in the mid 50’s it may have
lost traction as a weight-loss
supplement but it’s continued prevalence
in today’s society is at least partially
due to these early campaigns Homer I
really appreciate you making dinner but
this food tastes a little strange
it hurts my teeth that’s because I’ve
loaded it with sugar number 2 sugar is
unfortunately ubiquitous when something
is difficult to clearly identify that
can make it pretty hard to avoid such as
the case with sugar is there sugar in
syrup yes sugar has been known to hide
under 56 different aliases including but
not limited to dextrose corn syrup fruit
juice concentrate maple syrup and
galactose white gold text is G sweetener
coupling this with the fact that added
sugar is hiding in 74% packaged foods
creates a truly unavoidable substance
it’s no surprise that on average
teenagers consume about 34 teaspoons of
sugar per day roughly three times the
recommended dose for adults this lack of
transparency leads to overconsumption
which in turn can lead to numerous
health problems including diabetes when
when must away
number one big sugar used questionable
Big Tobacco inspired advertising methods
when a person tries to take something
that belongs to you what do you do for
members of the sugar industry that
answer was simple shove as much
advertising and bankrolled scientific
data down the public’s throat until they
can no longer see straight in a move
eerily similar to how big tobacco
handled negative backlash to their
products in the 90s cigarettes and
nicotine clearly do not meet the classic
definitions of addiction big sugar
manipulated the public with deceptive
advertising to ensure that government
agencies would dismiss troubling health
claims against their products must
protect sugar their primary tactic was
to hide behind data from studies they
paid for and then declare a quote that
no confirmed scientific evidence links
sugar to death-dealing diseases unquote
mountainy sugar is too much for one man
it’s clear now why God portions it out
in those tiny packets and why lives on a
plantation in Hawaii so do you think you
can make a rocket fueled by sugar what
about using it to lose a few pounds door
to door sugar what marvelous what I do
for more hard to avoid top tens and
lobby back to top fives be sure to
