Sugar
How did a simple
commodity, once the prized monopoly of kings and princes, become an
essential ingredient in the lives of millions, before mutating yet again
into the cause of a global health epidemic?
Prior to 1600,
sugar was a costly luxury, the domain of the rich. But with the rise of
the sugar colonies in the New World over the following century, sugar
became cheap, ubiquitous and an everyday necessity. Less than fifty
years ago, few people suggested that sugar posed a global health
problem. And yet today, sugar is regularly denounced as a dangerous
addiction, on a par with tobacco. While sugar consumption remains higher
than ever—in some countries as high as 100lbs per head per year—some
advertisements even proudly proclaim that their product
contains no sugar.
How did sugar grow from prize to pariah?
Acclaimed historian James Walvin looks at the history of our collective
sweet tooth, beginning with the sugar grown by enslaved people who had
been uprooted and shipped vast distances to undertake the grueling labor
on plantations. The combination of sugar and slavery would transform
the tastes of the Western world.
Masterfully insightful and
probing, James Walvin reveals the relationship between society and
sweetness over the past two centuries—and how it explains our conflicted
relationship with sugar today.
