|
 |
For how long can sugar be
stored?
At 20 °C (± 5°C) and a relative air humidity of 65
%, sugar can be stored for virtually an unlimited period. |
 |
Is fine sugar sweeter than
coarse sugar?
Fine and coarse sugar are equally sweet. It is possible that
the larger surface area of fine sugar makes it seem sweeter
if it is consumed on its own. |
Is too much sugar bad for
the teeth?
Damage to teeth resulting from products containing sugar can be avoided if teeth are cleaned regularly and properly: clean teeth do not go bad.
|
Is sugar fattening?
Sugar is a carbohydrate containing only 4 kcal/g, as opposed
to fat with 9 kcal/g and alcohol with 7 kcal/g. No single foodstuff
is fattening on its own. The total number of calories is the
crucial factor. |
 |
Is brown sugar healthier
than white?
No. It is a common misconception that brown sugar is healthier
than white. This misconception may have arisen a long time ago,
when sugar was still whitened with bleaching agents or dyed
with chemicals. |
| Südzucker has not used bleaching
agents or dyes for a very long time, since it obtains pure sugar
by means of repeated recrystallisation. Brown sugar only contains
very small concentrations of trace elements, which only affect
the taste. |
