Sweet Taste

Sugar has a sweet taste.

Too much sugar can make you fat.
Sugar is a natural preservative.
Sugar beets supply half the American sugar, with the rest coming from sugar cane. - 606
Harvested sugarcane is more than 50 percent water. The average sugarcane stalk weighs about 3 pounds, and contains about 0.3 pounds (0.14 kilograms) of sugar. - 607
The sugar cane must be crushed within 24 hours of being cut. - 608
Sugar processors add lime to the cane juice to coagulate the impurities. The juice is then neutralised with sulphur dioxide to settle out impurities. Sugar producers also add sodium hydrogen sulphate at the final stages of boiling. This releases sulphur dioxide into the juice and lightens the color of the final product. (Note: A high sulphur content often remains in the final product.)

People who are sensitive to sulfur may have an allergic reaction to the "pure white sugar". - 609
Do not stick out your tongue. - 649

Words of Wisdom

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 24:13, 14

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. Song of Solomon 2:3
