Sugar and Sweeteners
Sugar is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is used as a natural food stuff to sweeten the majority of other food stuffs that we wish to taste sweet. Monosaccharides is the simplest form of sugar. Sugar can be found in the tissues of plants before sugar use, honey was used to add sweetness to our foods. Sweeteners, rather than being a food stuff is a food additive. High intensity sweeteners, are a lot sweeter than sugar that we use everyday that does not contain the same level of food energy. Sweeteners can be natural or synthetic the majority are artificial. Sorbitol is a natural sweetener whereas saccharin, created by accident in 1879 is an artificial sweetener. Sweeteners can take the place of natural sugar, where the consumption of natural sugar may be detrimental to our health, such as diabetes sufferers. Canada banned the use of saccharin in 1977 as tests in relation to bladder cancer from the 1960's showed that their may be a link to bladder cancer of users of high dies of saccharin, also these tests involved the use of animals.

What does a sugar rush feel like?
Or, we can now look at the facts behind said "Sugar Rush".
A sugar rush, or sugar high, is supposedly marked by the consumption of too much sweet foods. There is no scientific explanation as to how sugar could, in any way possible, cause any sort of energy to an individual. Glucose... well, I'll copy and paste some Glucose information:
"Glucose (a type of simple carbohydrate/sugar) is necessary for the body to function properly. In fact, several parts of your body (e.g., red blood cells and parts of the brain) can function ONLY using glucose as an energy source. In addition, glucose is chemically a part of sucrose (table sugar)...and is released when sucrose is digested (broken apart) in the human digestive tract. Glucose can be directly absorbed into the blood and reaches the internal organs quite quickly. So, if your body wasn't maintaining some minimum level of blood glucose, it is, in theory, conceivable that eating sugar-containing foods might produce a 'sugar high'...a feeling of increased energy."
Obviously, this is not the case with any of the Americans proclaiming that they are/have experienced a sugar rush. That's just a small idea of what some may conceive as a sugar rush for people with sugar problems. A child that is often absorbing large quantities of sugar is not going to suffer any sort of deficiency from sugar.
Bottom line, sugar rushes are a myth that is yet to be confirmed. It's what many would know better as The Placebo Effect. By eating something one believes is plentiful in sugar content, and at the same time subconsciously believing that sugar causes energy, one would (and clearly do), feel as though they have more energy. It's how placebo works. I will avoid going into it's legitimacy, though, as this is simply an explanation of what a sugar rush is. It's realism is not to be debated here.
well the above is true and everything, but i have had sugar rush, it is like being drunk, but when your drunk or high u have hallucinations and whatever. you can do some pretty dangerous and risky stuff. when you have sugar rush, its like being happy drunk. you know, when your kind of loopy and silly. its just a lot of extra energy. a lot of fun most of the time. unfortunately like when you are drunk, you have a hangover. after the sugar is all worn out, you get headaches, stomachaches and you feel really tried. don;t get sugar rush too often, that much sugar is unhealthy. try to keep sugar rushes to childish parties and Halloween.

What is the purpose of adding sugar in processed meat products?
Sugar acts as a preservative since it is a humectant, which binds the water present in the meat thereby enabling the unbound moisture present in the meat unavailable for the bacterial activity. Since it also adds a good taste to the meat, sugar is preferred as an additive next to the salt. Sugar is mainly preferred next to salts of nitrates, because they do not produce any undesirable compounds in the foods to which they are added.

Options besides sugar or Splenda include honey, molasses, Stevia and the various "artificial sweeteners."
Why is stevia better than sugar?
Stevia may be composed of several different types of molecules from the Stevia rebaudiana leaf. These steviol glycosides can be up to 300 times sweeter than sucrose.
Many synthetic artificial sweeteners are more potent than Stevia. For example Saccharine (up to 700 times sweeter than sugar), Sucralose (600 times sweeter) and Neotame (8000 times sweeter) are all much sweeter.
Does the body store glucose in a form of glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting.
Hope this helps!!
