Obesity and dental caries are increasingly widespread pathologies. The former is growing so rapidly that the WHO classified its trend as an "epidemic". Both are triggered by a number of well known common etiologic factors sharing also the high added sugar amount since childhood. Because of its fermentation and pH lowering, dietary sugar allows the cariogenic bacteria to damage the tooth enamel ...

The author and Van Slyke (5) have recently published a method for sugar determination in which the time required to decolorize a standard ferricyanide solution was used as a measure of the sugar content. The convenience which this method demonstrated in clinical work stimulated attempts to widen its range of usefulness by developing a micro modification. By carrying out the reaction in small te...

Domestic US sugar production has been protected by government policy for the past 82 years, resulting in elevated domestic prices and an estimated annual (2013) $1.4 billion dollar "tax" on consumers. These elevated prices and the simultaneous federal support for domestic corn production have ensured a strong market for high-fructose corn syrup. Americans have dramatically increased their consu...

OBJECTIVE Beverage taxes came into light with increasing concerns about obesity, particularly among youth. Sugar-sweetened beverages have become a target of anti-obesity initiatives with increasing evidence of their link to obesity. Our paper offers a method for estimating revenues from an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages that governments of various levels could direct towards obesity pr...

this study aimed to modify the current purchase formula of sugar beet into a formula with different coefficients with respect to sugar percentage of autumn sugar beet. ahvaz sugar factory was selected as an autumn sowing factory in iran and 163 samples were randomly taken at different delivery times in 2007 (28th april to 27th june).  from each truck, one sample was taken and sugar content, wat...
