Refined sugar certainly did not exist during the hunter-gatherer days. And the only sweet sugar that our ancestors treated themselves to was in fruits and berries!

So where did all the refined sugar in our food come from?

Did it happen because Indians discovered crystallization of sugar during the Gupta Dynasty in around 320 AD?

Or is it because America started producing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in abundance after the Great Depression...which it eventually exported to the world!

Or is our addiction to sugar a colonial hangover?

Answering all these questions and more, Food Anthropologist Kumud Dadlani explains the genesis of sugar and how it made it's way into global food cultures and how it, therefore, impacted global economy and our relationship with food.

In this episode we discuss the History, Biology & Physiology of Sugar. Our panel of experts include Ashdin Doctor aka The Habit Coach, Food Anthropologist Kumud Dadlani, & Sanjivini Wagh who’s been off sugar for 30 days!
