Sugaris so muchapartofourmodernlife that weonlyreally think aboutit when, for
somereason, wecannotobtainit. It hasbeenknownto manfor atleast 3,000 years. but
hascomeinto commonuseonlyin moderntimes. Untilquiterecentlyit wasconsideredasa
medicineandasaluxury for the veryrich only.
Sugaris. then, veryimportant to ourcivilization. Butwhatexact1yis it? Ofcourse,
mostofus recognize sugar immediately as the sweet materialwhichweputin coffee or
cakes. Thiscommon form ofsugar is derivedfrom two plants: the sugar cane (a type of
grasswhichgrowsto aheightoftwenty feet) andthe sugarbeet(whichgrowsunderground.
Butthere arein fact manytypes ofsugar, andthe chemistrecognizes hundredsofdifferent
varieties, eachcomingfrom adifferentsource. About90%ofthe sugaris producedasfood.
Only10%is usedin industry for purposesotherthan food production. Yetsugar hasgreat
possibilitiesfor useasthe basisofchemicals. Itcanevenbeusedfor makingplastics. In the
future these potentialuseswillcertainlybedevelopedmorethan in the past.
Thereare manyreasons whyweshould increase the production of sugar. Most
important is that it is oneofthe mosthighlyconcentratedofenergyfoods. Thussugarcane
andbeet produce an average of 7,000,000 calori~s peracre. In this waythey have the
advantageoverpotatoeswhichgiveonly4, 000, 000, whilefigure for wheatandbeansis
