American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists PROCEEDINGS American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists 1973 MEETINGS Volume 3 (New Series) Florida and Louisisna Divisions June 1974 PROCEEDINGS AMERICAN SOCIETY OF SUGAR CANE TECHNOLOGISTS Florida and Louisiana Divisions Volume 3 (New Series) June 1974 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreward 3 Officers and Committees for 1973 5 Program of 1973 Annual Joint Meeting 8 Program of 1973 Florida Division Meeting 10 Program of 1973 Louisiana Division Meeting 10 Papers Presented at 1973 Annual Joint Meeting 13 Papers Presented at 1973 Florida Division Meeting 133 Papers Presented at 1973 Louisiana Division Meeting 157 Corrections for Volume 2 214 Subject Index 215 Author Index 217 1 FOREWORD After completing the editing of the last two volumes of the Proceedings, it is apparent that at the fact that some authors are not following the editorial style that has been established. The editor is probably at fault in this for my failure to make the details of the desired style more readily available to all members of ASSCT. This defect is being corrected through preparation of a style manual that will be sent to each member. Adoption of the recommended style in the writing of deal of extra time in editing and typing, particularly the latter, and this extensive editing invites errors. A second major problem is the considerable number of members who present papers at the meetings of ASSCT but for various reasons do not submit manuscripts of these oral presentations for printing in the Proceedings. Of 54 papers which were presented orally at the three meetings held in 1973, complete were available for the Proceedings. However, abstracts are not as suitable as complete papers, and authors are urged to submit manuscripts of all papers presented at the three annual meetings of the Another problem, related closely to that described in the previous paragraph, pertains to panel discussions and symposia. As a general rule, information presented at these discussions is not placed on record and submitted for printing in the Proceedings. However, this information would be of interest and value to many readers, and the organizers of these panel discussions are requested to make some provision for inclusion of the information in the Proceedings. 3 OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES FOR 1973 General Officers and Committees General Secretary-Treasurer Editors of Proceedings Denver T.

    THE FINNISH EXCISE TAX ON SUGAR- SWEETENED BEVERAGES AND ITS EFFECT ON THEIR PRICES AND DEMAND Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master´s Thesis 2018 Author: Miika Heinonen Subject: Economics Supervisor: Professor Ari Hyytinen ABSTRACT Author Miika Heinonen Title The Finnish Excise Tax on Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Its Effect on Their Prices and Demand Subject Type of Work Economics Master´s Thesis Time (date.) Number of Pages 13th April 2018 81 Abstract The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with overweight, obesity and related illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes. Excise tax on SSBs is seen as an effective tool to reduce their consumption and improve pop- ulation health. Because there are possible market failures associated with the consumption of SSBs, taxing them might be preferable to other taxes. In January 2014, Finland doubled its excise tax rate for SSBs from 0.11 euros to 0.22 euros per litre. Considering the 14 percent ad valorem tax, this translates into a price increase of 0.125 euros. To understand the possible beneficial health effects of the tax, it is essential to estimate, first, its effect on prices (pass- through) and, second, how responsive is consumption to changes in prices (price elasticity of demand). Data, provided by HOK-Elanto, from S-Market stores is used to analyse these two effects. Data consists of daily price and sales records of beverage items from four separate stores for the period 2013-2014. The pass-through of the tax is estimated by applying the differences-in- differences method. It is estimated that the prices of taxed beverages rose somewhere between 0.17 and 0.19 euros per litre, indicating overshifting of the tax by approximately 36-52 percent.

  • This Is Exactly What Happens to Your Body When You Eat a Ton of Sugar Source: MSN Lifestyle
    This is Exactly What Happens to Your Body When You Eat a Ton of Sugar Source: MSN Lifestyle The maximum amount of added sugar people should eat in a day is 150 calories (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons) for men and 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) for women, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). The body can handle, as in metabolize, at least six teaspoons of added sugar per day. The problem is that most people consume a lot more than that. Sugar is not only present in foods that taste very sweet. Most Americans consume over three times what they should be, with teens and men munching on the largest amounts. The result is chaos, stress and overload for the body that can lead to both physical and mental illnesses. Many packaged foods don’t list how many teaspoons of sugar their products contain, making your job of keeping track very difficult. An easy trick to remember, AHA says, is that there are 4 calories per gram of sugar and 4 grams of sugar equal a teaspoon. If a label says 10 grams of sugar per serving size, that means it has 2.5 teaspoons of it or 40 calories. 1. Liver is overloaded The liver processes sugar in the same way it processes alcohol (both are slowly killing you). The fructose in the refined sugar can only be metabolized by the liver (unlike glucose). Therefore, consuming a lot will tax the organ too much and can eventually lead to liver disease, according to the Global Healing Center.

  • LEVY Thesis Sugar Intake in the United States 2019
    SUGAR INTAKE IN THE UNITED STATES: AN “INESCAPABLE” TRAP Rachael Levy TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 8, 2019 —————————————-—— Alexandra van den Berg, MPH, PhD UTHealth School of Public Health Supervising Professor ————————-——————— Jaimie Davis, PhD Department of Nutritional Sciences Second Reader Abstract Author: Rachael Levy Title: Sugar Intake in the United States: An “Inescapable” Trap Supervising Professor: Alexandra van den Berg, MPH, PhD This thesis examines the role of sugar in the American diet, the population’s health, and the economic and political spheres. The thesis aims to answer three overarching questions: (1) How has U.S. sugar consumption changed over time, and how has this change impacted the nation’s health? (2) Why does the U.S. food system allow for sugar’s continued prominence in the population’s diet if it negatively impacts the nation’s health–which this thesis argues it likely does? and (3) How can the nation improve and decrease its sugar consumption in the future? To answer these questions, information from both primary and secondary sources has been accumulated and analyzed to generate new insight on the topic of sugar in the American diet. The goals of this thesis are to reveal the truth about sugar and the organizations that foster its consumption, to recognize the modern health movement and the headway it has made in moderating sugar intake, and to present a realistic take on what is necessary to escape this sugar trap the country is caught within. !2 Table of Contents Introduction 5 Chapter One: U.S.

    10/3/2016 Patient education: Low blood sugar in people with diabetes (The Basics) ­ UpToDate Official reprint from UpToDate® www.uptodate.com ©2016 UpToDate® Patient education: Low blood sugar in people with diabetes (The Basics) Written by the doctors and editors at UpToDate What is low blood sugar? — Low blood sugar is a condition that can cause symptoms ranging from sweating and feeling hungry to passing out. Low blood sugar, which is also called "hypoglycemia," happens when the level of sugar in a person's blood gets too low. Low blood sugar can happen in people with diabetes (sometimes called "diabetes mellitus") who take certain diabetes medicines, including insulin and some types of pills. When can people with diabetes get low blood sugar? — People with diabetes can get low blood sugar when they: ● Take too much medicine, including insulin or certain diabetes pills ● Do not eat enough food ● Exercise too much without eating a snack or reducing their insulin dose ● Wait too long between meals ● Drink too much alcohol What are the symptoms of low blood sugar? — The symptoms of low blood sugar can be different from person to person, and can change over time. During the early stages of low blood sugar, a person can: ● Sweat or tremble ● Feel hungry ● Feel worried People who have early symptoms should check their blood sugar level to see if it is low and needs to be treated. If low blood sugar levels are not treated, severe symptoms can occur. These can include: ● Trouble walking or feeling weak ● Trouble seeing clearly ● Being confused, or acting in a strange way ● Passing out or having a seizure Some people do not get symptoms during the early stages of low blood sugar.
