Sugar draws moisture in, therefore drawing it out of bacteria in surrounding tissue. This leads to bacterial-dehydration, which effectively neutralizes or kills the bacteria. It's an effective way to stop infection and promote wound healing. This is a battlefield medical practice that is at least as old as Napoleon which is the earliest known documented use of this technique. Chris Bangs - SMB Nation
