Because farmers from the West Indies (Barbados e.t.c) started to ship foreign luxuries over to Great Britain. Some of these goods included tobacco, tea, coffee and most importantly... sugar. In fact, sugar was so rare that only the richest of people could own it. Elizabeth 1st bought absolutely loads of the white delight and ate it with almost everything. She ate so much of this sugar that her teeth rotted and fell out. Bearing in mind that before sugar was introduced, the only thing taht you could use to sweeten your food with was honey!

∙ 13y agoUnfortunately, Elizabeth I had a rather sweet tooth, and, as she got older her teeth became black and bad. She padded her mouth out with rags and wadding, so that her face would not look so sunken. One of her archbishops volunteered to have a tooth out to show the queen that it would not be too painful, because she desperately required an extraction. Apparently he had to go through the procedure again, before he convinced her to have her bad tooth pulled! No anaesthetic in those days!
