The History of Sugar — From Slavery to Your Kitchen

The sugar industry paid Harvard scientists to lie about heart disease. But that cover-up is the least disturbing chapter in the history of sugar. From its domestication 8,000 years ago to the Atlantic slave trade it fueled — 12 million people transported, average plantation survival of 7 years — to the industry-funded research that shaped decades of flawed dietary guidelines, sugar’s story connects empire, slavery, and modern addiction in ways most people never learn. This video traces the full arc: how a tropical grass became more valuable than silver, why Napoleon accidentally made it cheap, and how it ended up in 80% of the food on your shelves under more than 60 different names. If you care about history, food, or understanding why the modern diet looks the way it does — this one’s for you. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
