Normally, this fiber was just burned in the fields, but now we source in Southeast Asia, where they are using this as a replacement for regular wood fibers and styrofoam.
We make it into a molded product, for disposable paper plates, bowls, pizza containers, and supermarket trays. It's very easily renewable; sugar cane is a tropical grass that renews itself about every 12 months for harvest, so we use zero wood pulp. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The crystallization of sucrose from sugar cane juices became established about 300 years ago. Pure white sugar was very expensive during the rule of Queen Elizabeth. Average annual consumption in England was 5 lb per person per year. The Queen was a sugar junky, and this probably rotted her teeth, making it essential for her to have iron plates. This could have accounted for her irritable personality later on in life. Today, in England the consumption of all the sugars (sugar cane, sugar beet, and the syrups) runs close to 130 lb per person per year. |

The inhabitants of the coastal cities of Chimbote and Trujillo - the latter is home to more than a million people - also depend on the Santa for their drinking water. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The scene looked exactly as Wagner had described Nicoya a half century ago: crude wood buildings, a raised chicken coop, a barn the size of a single-car garage, a mule-driven sugar cane press, and a small house of vertical planks. The tin roof provided the only hint that the 20th century had come and gone. An old man napped languidly in a hammock on the porch. Inside, we could hear talking and laughing.
"Buenas tardes," Jorge called out. The talking stopped abruptly. An old portly woman wearing a housedress and an apron pulled aside the sheet covering the front door and looked out at us. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Leaving aside the biodiversity issue and looking just at existing manufacturing techniques, an ethanol wedge in Socolow and Pacala's analysis would require 250 million hectares being devoted to corn or sugar cane plantations, an area equivalent to one-sixth of the world's croplands. Given that world food stocks are already at historic lows because of population growth and droughts, devoting more of our best farmland to growing fuel for cars seems close to insane. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Policosanol is a mixture of alcohols extracted from sugar cane, wheat germ, rice bran, or beeswax. Policosanol has been used to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides and to increase HDL cholesterol based on over 10 years of critical trials and 30 or so positive clinical trials. One recent metaanalysis of natural interventions for abnormal and elevared lipids concluded that policosanol is more effective than plant sterols.334
However, evidence to the benefits of policosanol is conflicting. |

What I try to do, Mike, is take a whole lot of ingredients that have some data behind them so they're not just put together and thrown in together but there's a method to it.
You can go to the website, HDLBooster.com, and read about every ingredient and what each ingredient's doing. Then, there are studies to back up every single ingredient. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Sugar is widely used in the food industry in canned foods, jams, jellies, juices, sweets and soft drinks. sugar cane and sugar beet are grown on a large scale and are processed by grinding, pressing out the sap and crystallising to produce molasses (unrefined sugar syrup), brown sugar and finally white sugar (by repeated crystallisation). In addition to these two main industrial sources of sugar, relatively small amounts of palm sugar and maple syrup are produced in rural areas by tapping the sugary sap from sugar palms or sugar maples and concentrating it by boiling or evaporation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This was the "explanation" of its movement to China, India, and elsewhere. sugar cane was widely used in ancient India, and in China was chewed as an aphrodisiac sweetmeat in about 1000 B.C. But it was first refined into sugar as such in India some three hundred years later, at Bihar on the Ganges, and thence introduced as sugar to China.
Indian sugar was made from a variety of cane called puri, and it was this variety that spread slowly westward for the next two thousand years, to be joined in the eighteenth century in the New World by strains from Polynesia and Indonesia. | | Finally, there was the gross feeding nature of the sugar plant itself, which made the husbandry of sugar cane a difficult exercise in the state of the art in medieval agriculture. Before European knowledge of plant nutrients had progressed beyond the rules codified in verse by Virgil and Ovid, the fertility problem could only be met by fallowing part of the land every second or third year, as was done for other crops in the Middle Ages. | | Because sugar cane was a labor-intensive crop, the ratio of slaves/sugar always remained at least ten times greater than the ratios of slaves/tobacco, or slaves/cotton, or any other crop grown in servitude. Perhaps three-quarters of all the Africans transported across the Atlantic, possibly as many as 15 million out of a total of 20 million enslaved in Africa, must be debited to sugar. Yet after 1750 the husbandry existed to grow a different form of sugar in western Europe itself. Only the motivation was absent. | | By 1432, the first sugar cane had been pulped and refined in a plant near the modern Funchal, the Europeans having destroyed most of the island's woodland by accident and most of the natives by design. This sugar industry ultimately gave way to the more profitable vineyards. The sugar estates were worked initially by more than a thousand men, brought in in conditions of some servitude from Portugal itself; the group included convicts, debtors, and stubborn Jews who refused to be converted to Christianity. | | The Nilgiri Hills, which had been chosen from four possible areas as being suitable for cinchona cultivation, were covered with native vegetation including rhododendrons, berberis, gaultheria, lilies, lycopodia, ilex, cinnamon, viburnum, acanthus, and jasmine, into which abundance of plant life the English had already introduced vegetables and fruit from northern Europe, together with oranges, lemons, limes, bananas, nutmegs, loquats, and plantains, as well as tobacco, sugar cane, and the European nettle, which grew with fierce abandon and stung with subtropical savagery. | | Prophet's death in 632 sugar cane and sugar production had been introduced from Persia and were established in Syria, Palestine, the Dodecanese, Egypt, Cyprus, Crete, Sicily, North Africa, and southern Spain. The sugar industry survived the gradual expulsion of the Moors from the Mediterranean littoral, and was carried on by both Moslems and Christians as a profitable, expanding concern for two hundred years from about 1300. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As examples of how easily vitamin B6 is lost in the processing of food, raw sugar cane has a good amount, while refined sugar has none; whole wheat flour contains nearly 0.5 mg. of pyridoxine (wheat germ and wheat flakes have much more), while refined wheat flour has almost none, and even whole wheat bread has lost nearly all of its vitamin B6. Much of the chromium in whole grains and sugarcane is lost in making refined flour (40 percent loss) and white sugar (93 percent loss). In addition, there is some evidence that refined flour and sugar deplete even more chromium from the body. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Origin & history Sugar beet apparently originated in eighteenth century Europe, at a time when crystalline sugar was a luxury item that had to be imported from warm regions with sugar cane. Large-rooted, garden beets with a high sugar content were selected from fodder beet, resulting in a white-rooted sugar beet ("Weisse Schlesische Riibe") with a sugar concentration of around 6%. Sugar production started in Silesia (today part of Poland) and the first sugar factory was built in 1802. Selection and breeding continues to this day, and the sugar content in modern cultivars now exceeds 18%. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The majority of the world's population now, on civilization's various diets, consume only 13 varieties of plants: bananas, beans, beets (beet-derived sugar), corn, oranges, potatoes, rice, wheat, soy beans, sugar cane, sweet potato, cassava and coconut. The first 9 of these 13 listed are such hybridized foods (or genetically modified) that they are either seedless or produce seeds incapable of surviving independently in Nature. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These highly refined carbohydrates originate from grains or sugar plants, like sugar cane or the sugar beet. They are readily broken down during digestion to the simplest form of the carbohydrates, which are absorbed into the body to give blood sugar, or glucose.
Unfortunately, most Americans consume voluminous amounts of simple, refined carbohydrates and paltry amounts of complex carbohydrates. For example, in 1996, 42% of Americans ate cakes, cookies, pastries or pies on any given day, while only 10% ate any dark green vegetables. |

Policosanol, derived from sugar cane, is a new face on the cholesterol scene in the United States but is a popular hypocholesterolemic in other countries (Mas et al. 1999). The main ingredient in sugar cane is octacosnol, a long-chain fatty alcohol found in the waxy film that covers the leaves and fruit of plants. |

They put it through a rosewood press, similar to what the Mexicans do with tortillas, and make about five inch discs. They put these on a screen in the sun to dry. And when you want to eat it, you flash fry or bake it. When it's nice and golden brown, you can form it into a tuille, a coronet or a bowl, and then use it with your favorite sweet or savory. So you can actually put a dessert in it, or a tuna tartar, or even a salad in it.

See book keywords and concepts |  This is similar to the finding that unprocessed carbohydrates such as grain and raw sugar cane have the right amount of chromium to act as a cofactor in their assimilation. When these are commercially processed into such products as white flour and white sugar, they lose much of their chromium, so in order to assimilate them, we must draw from our own body's chromium stores.6 Over time, this results in a tissue chromium depletion, just as eating cooked foods results in an enzyme depletion.
