It’s okay to be white.

that's RACIST!

It's okay to be HUMAN, clxwncrxwn, cause at the end of the day, we're all the same species.

Can you ask *brown sugar* , _"why do you tastes so good?"_

Only Mick Jagger can get away with that one.

Magnus Hellman FREE SERVICE.

When?

when you compare it to american productions of like how it's made, yes definitely poor editing choices. It felt choppy to me, they jumped from things to fast.

Sugar beet is also GMO

Oh they do make it white. We used to export it to be refined for that purpose. I grew up just using the brown/yellow sugar but we only kept white sugar around in small amounts for baking since it's more expensive here than brown sugar.

@@babagandu so?

Sucrose is sucrose. Natural canes are grown in places with many human rights violations. I'd rather my sugar doesn't taste of human suffering.

The process is not that different, the canes are passed through a machine that squishes them flat separating the "cane juice" and the plant fiber, also called "bagazo" in spanish, the juice is can be drinked by itself, fermented into rum or other spirits like guaro and aguardiente, cooked into brown lumps or candy. To make sugar the juice is cooked until the glucose and fructose combine into sacarose (something like reverse hydrolisis, dunno i'm no chemist) and the water content is suficiently reduced. Eventualy the mixture will be dry enough to crumble as crystals of impure sacarose, called brown sugar. It can be further processed by "cleaning" it with sulphur gasses that pull the impurities rendering white sugar. The bagazo is burned to produce electricity and heat for the plant consumption, believe it or not it is quite environmentally friendly as the same amount of carbon dioxide released by the combustion is fixated by the sugar cane during its life cycle, which is quite short. (This is by no means the way it is done everywhere, but it is as close as the explanation given to us on a field trip to our country's biggest sugar refinery (in Grecia, Costa Rica))

They used the term "filter" but to be more precise they should have said "flocculant". Look it up :-) Flocculants are also used for cane sugar.

That's what they do on this channel- barely answer questions in the title.

Because they show just 3 minutes of an episode that was probably 20 or 30 minutes long. It's really annoying.

Me too

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll stop watching now.

sucrose molecules, when formed into crystals, are naturally white if devoid of all impurities (color). Nothing is done to it chemically to actually alter the color of sucrose.

You should do yourself a huge favour and watch some Durianrider!!

Exactly !

brown sugar is made by adding molasses back into the white sugar. As for the 83%. That's all the pulp, skin, and other plant bits, not sure if they use it for anything or if it just gets tossed.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's used for fertiliser or feed for livestock? Not sure either.

They could really increase their profits by selling that stuff to compost reactors and combustion powerplants

It's mostly water but the pulp is used to make animal feed.

@@martinrauch8556 The pulp is dried and beet molasses added then turned into animal feed

It actually do...but there are always alternatives...

Pretty simple process actually, just the Lyme and co2 that's probably the hardest step

@@sealishproductions actually no, this video is increadibly misleading. If you notice he said they only use the Lime and CO2 to "help clean" the liquid. There are dozens of more processes and chemicals used that they did not disclose. They use various extracting agents during the boiling process to facilitate the extraction of the monosaccharides, they use various gasses during the centrifugal process, there are also about 10 or so additional steps involving various solvents and intermediary substances in order to get maximum crystalization, depending on which base material is used (beets, sugar cane, etc...).

Quotes from two women 100+years old: "Eat sugar and butter, don't worry." "Always have dessert, always."

I imagine that's probably how they did it pre industrial revolution. Yield is probably not as good and you have some impure flavour

Pls is there any basic way to make sugar white at home?

There is but it is mostly used for biochemical and medical research and probably goes into the thousands too

Vegan here. That is exactly why i was watching this. I didnt' know this! :(

i would like a source for the animal bones used.

The charred bones of animals are not used in british made sugar ?

Probably fed livestock or turned into fertilizer.

Brown sugar is normal sugar with molasses mixed through

Because #Racism

Because it's made from sugar cane

Norma it isn't made of sugar cane. At least the these that I saw on store shelfs

because its "special" and so pay more for it even if it costs less to produce. Stupid people will pay more for stupid products.

Correct, the "leftovers" of a sugar plant is what you would call molasses. That would be purified further then mixed with refined white sugar to create brown sugar.

they would use it as fertilizer to grow more beets, most likely. Or sell it for the same/similar purpose to someone else.

The left over beet pulp is dried and used as fodder for horses and other livestock. After they removed the sugar and the water the rest is high in (longer) carbohydrates, fiber and proteins.

Fank Daggot I wonder when black and yellow teeth come into fashion))))

Why not? Do you mean you can't ask how is sugar made white?

ouroesa sugar cane doesn't grow very well in the UK. The yield from sugar beet in the UK and Europe generally is high. Many tons per hectare of land.

Martin cabello 3

Yes, it's full of them...

What types of food do you eat?

i also stopped eating any added sugars, though i still have food like lentils and fruit on occasion since my metabolism can tolerate it. it's been a freeing experience, minus the part where 70% of the supermarket is useless to me

the chalk is recycled and reused whilst the remaining unused solution is made into livestock feed or into fertilizer.

I'm not sure where that info comes from. Maybe it depends where you live, but the sugar everyone I know uses is C&H Sugar. It's Pure Cane Sugar grown in California (C) and Hawaii (H). There's a brand called Domino that is said to be made from a sugar beet/cane mix, but what I've seen is their "gold sugar" made from pure cane sugar and it says it's gold because it's not as processed as white sugar. However, you can use it exactly the same way. But, yeah, this info isn't really correct, at least where I live (California)

Cesar Perez tbh, probs a v similar process. Grind sugar cane to juice it. Apply lime solution etc.

most likely you are consuming sugars based from the beet variant. Unless you're in a more tropical area where sugar cane is more abundant.

British Sugar use Sulphur Dioxide to help clear the juice .

Called bleach

Steeped

Date sugar also

They won't answer that question

Tropical areas tend to use sugar cane, more temperate regions use sugar beet. All depends on which plants grow best where you are and how much sugar you want to make locally rather than importing.

Intolerance to sugar cane?! haha. You should do yourself a huge favour and watch some Durianrider!!

hello sai

Huh?? How did you reach that conclusion? Something has to give sugar its white colour because it's not naturally white. The source material for any sugar is coloured brownish so why is white sugar, that is made from a brownish substance, white? There has to be an additive and the only additive that is added to the sugar that is white is lime/chalk. Bubble this through CO2 one will turn the lime into calcium carbonate which is also white. So next time you add a teaspoon of sugar into your drink, remember you're eating chalk 👍 I've often wondered why white sugar smells smoky 🤣🤣🤣 @@jash21222

Not this one.

Did you not get the bit where they filter the chalk out?

@@ChrisHow well i got the bit where they filter the chalk out but how? They only say that so people don't think they're eating chalk! So I'm with Daltira, chalk is basically what gives sugar its whiteness!! I mean, they even use ttianium dioxide as a food colouring especially to whiten icing on cakes!!

@@ChrisHow additionally if all of the chalk was filtered out what then makes the sugar white?

​@@PeterPete CHALK IS NOT SOLUBLE. If your sugar contained chalk, your coffee would be gritty.

@@ChrisHow you've not answered my question chris - if all the chalk (CaCO3) is filtered out what makes the sugar white? In my opinion a solution of limewater is added to the sugar syrup and co2 is bubbled through to whiten the product. If you think I'm wrong explain to me what causes the sugar to turn white?

John Jeffry So cows milk?

id rather use stevia or sucrose. Much more sweet imo and doesnt add sugar to your blood. Much better than sugar if you usually have a cup of milk tea near you while you work.

same, I drink a lot of Zevia soda and sucralose energy drinks and don't put sugar in my coffee. But when I do, I make sure it's brown or confectioners lol

"id rather use stevia or sucrose" White sugar is sucrose.

Darren Marsh I mean sucralose. My bad.

Digvijay Patil good question!

The brain uses sugar, but that doesn't mean you need to eat refined sugars.

Your guts extract sugar from all foods. Refined sugars only damage your health (& brain).

Our brain (as well as other parts of our body) doesn't use pure sugar to get energy, it takes any kind of carbohydrates and transforms them into glucose and uses that. It's still sugar but a bit different.

Sugar is mostly glucose there genius. Our bodies don't break glucose down into glucose.

.~.

i think they use bone char (animal charcoal) to filter the sugar very much like filtering water!

Nowadays, yes.

But sugar is expensive....

Sugars aren't nearly as expensive as they used to be buddy.

FaithIsHere no....sugar and refined carbs in general are actually super cheap compared to protein, fat, and veggies.

Lmao
