Sweet Days
Past
Daily life was stressful for our ancestors. The struggle to gather basic needs required them to exert high levels of strenuous activity. Food could be scarce, and they only had access to a limited supply of fruit in the winter. Fructose rich fruits played a vital role for gaining weight to survive the harsh conditions of winter.
Today
Our struggle to survive the starvation between breakfast and lunch, would shock our ancestors. There is an abundance of fruit today, even in the winter. As a result, people today are more intolerant to fructose than in the past.

Honey
Past:
Honey is a natural sugar source. It is considered one of the oldest sweeteners, some fossils of bee honey date back 150,000,000 years. Cave paintings in Spain show the earliest records of beekeeping from 700 BC.
Today:
With the threat of extinction to bee populations worldwide, natural honey is in limited supply. Honey is a natural sugar high in sucrose and fructose. Replacing it with Dr Coy's sugars can have a positive impact on our health.

Classic Sugar
Past:
By 1300 AD, the Venetian merchants isolated sugar from sugar cane and it became a luxury for the rich. The gluttonous behaviour that followed from overconsumption may have been the leading cause of death for wealthy people at this time.
Today:
Industrialization brought change, sugar became cheap and readily available to the masses. Around the world people are making less informed nutritional choices and are dying from the side effects of a diet high in classic and added hidden sugars. Obesity and diabetes are serious problems in most nations.

Sugar Consumption
Past:
Several hundred years ago people were eating 2-4 kilos of classic sugar per year.
Today:
In some first-world countries today, an individual adult consumes up to 34 kilos of sugar per year. This is due to excessive amounts of sugar found in processed glucose-starch foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice.
An intelligent sugar strategy is the key to good health
Too much classic sugar, combined with large amounts of glucose-based carbohydrates bumps up our daily sugar consumption that eventually damages our health. When this is combined with a stressful and inactive lifestyle, our bodies are at greater risk of disease and faster ageing.
