Introduction. The next post, I want you to accompany me on this trip that was based on the significant context, when the sugar appeared, thanks to it, changed the destiny of humanity, which was felt in history, as a consequence, a new philosophy of Seeing things, I standardize societies, I unleash an economic expansion in it, in the same way I condition new needs for consumption and adoption of new culture, to the point that new diseases appear through the history and evolution of humanity in the most influential way in the global markets of this sweet crystal.

¿Who does not like a cup of coffee with a spoonful of sugar?, a rich, well sweetened meringue, a rich dessert or sweet, but we do not know all the hands that it originated to obtain, this mineral appreciated as gold in the history. It is a fact to notice gradually any change especially vision if we focus especially when we live diverse experiences very close to the changes plus the case when they are induced or stimulated by something, to see it this way, the human sensitivity.

Sugar was synonymous with conquest and exploitation before becoming something everyday, for us, the first references are from 5000 years ago. It was extracted from sugar cane in Africa. Its diffusion was gradual towards the East (Saccharum officinalis).

The sugar did not reach the Mediterranean until the incursions of the Persian King Darius I, from there he took the sugar to Persia, it was arranged that the sugar cane arrived in Europe, to the Mediterranean Andalusia by the Arabs, it did not take long to awaken expeditions , how to expand, this economic activity around the world, both by the Spanish, Portuguese, French, a sign of wealth was considered for them and the rest of Europe, starting from it, changed, new form of culture, when they arrived in the Caribbean and South America, new market for rum and molasses is born, because this crop is well in the tropics.

This market was very influential and profitable, but also very hostile, because it is a labor-intensive crop, for its care, treatment and collection, a new need for human talent is born, the saddest or dark side of history begins , giving rise to another market not very conventional, such as the slave market, which made it possible, to snatch from the African mother, many millions of its inhabitant who were subjected to these new and emerging markets, that is why it is said that it begins to standardize social class.

¿How did Napoleon change the sugar market?
Well I tell you that, when our French leader in his atonement, for the rest of Europe, several rival countries, for defending their economy, made a commercial blockade in every way, the one that made the most felt was our precious sugar that was very demanded by France.

Instead of affecting it, they managed to expand the new sugar trade, thanks to a French and German des showed, that through the cultivation of sugar beet, sugar crystals are obtained, thereby creating a new sugar market of beet and currently it is 70% of the most processed sugar in the world, and it is healthier to refine it.

Authors of the scientific contribution of sugar from the beet.
French chemist, Oliver Serrés, and the German chemist Andrés Margraf was the first to see commercial possibilities in 1747.

Considerations after these facts of the history of this mineral.

• Slavery was abolished over time.

• For another political interest of great power as France was neglected, in its industrial markets, the need was seen over time, sugar was already established, as one of the food items in the most commercialized history.

• Raw materials and methods of obtaining sugar were considered cheaply.

We already have great contribution on the basis of the time of our friend sweetener, over time the uncontrolled use of this mineral in the form of its consumption, brought as a consequence, diseases such as diabetes, some types of cancer, obesity, emotional changes, At present, there are already nutritional laws, with the proper use of sugar and sweeteners, on food and processing.

¿How is the market?
Taking into account that this mineral is one of the few non-perishable products. The saturation of the markets, impossible to explain the most proven fact in the history of trade, is maintained, but in the way it is handled is very induced, with an over-supply, to stimulate then create an over-demand, such way, that production standards, focuses on overwhelming capitalism, can not imagine the damage caused by the global overproduction of sugar, focused on production, no matter what it takes to gain more market position or be a market leader.

Breaking the sugarcane tradition, there are currently other alternatives in the market as a sweetener, due to the new demand raised by several countries for world-level nutrition controls, but I tell them that they are sugar, synthetic, and the market remains the same. sugar. Actually it does not do more than extract the sucrose from the impurities present in the molasses.

Reflection.
I make a call to conscience, with the proper use of this precious sweet mineral, on the other hand we must take into account, that there are culture problems that interfere in the market and sugar production as big monopolies, is where I say, what a great part of Latin America, as in Venezuela, we have the variety of beet, to produce sugar, considering that it is a crop of shorter cycles, than sugarcane, you leave it to your conscience, as the story speaks for its own facts, also the procedure of refining and bleaching, affect us, but everything is marketing.
