Survivalist Tip: I know I’m late with this, but as before, it just proves how prepared we all must be by December 21. And, one thing we’ll need in our stockpile is sugar. Sugar canes are among the oldest crops. Humans have been cultivating them for thousands of years. Today, most sugar cane crops grow in tropical zones in the Southern Hemisphere.
Unfortunately, sugar has gained a bad reputation in recent decades, mainly because of its abuse in the processed food industry by people who were too quick to blame everything and everyone but themselves for getting fat and lazy. Saying something negative about sugar is like giving a beef-flavored treat to a dog: they’ll swallow it without giving it much thought. But, sugar is an essential element and is part of our biological makeup. It’s fuel for the body and brain and is present in almost every food or beverage humans and animals consume.
Sugar comes in 6 natural forms:
- Glucose – fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, cereals
- Fructose – fruits, vegetables, honey
- Galactose – dairy products
- Sucrose – fruits, vegetables
- Lactose – milk
- Maltose – cereals, malt products
Be leery of processed sugars, such as packaged cookies and cereals, cheesecakes, muffins and Hollywood celebrities. They’re very bad for your health. Too much of these things can interfere with proper brain function, and you definitely don’t need your brain to go haywire as you struggle to survive in the aftermath of the apocalypse.
