While sugar cane could not be grown in northern Europe, sugar could be extracted from certain beets and these began to be widely cultivated around 1801, after the British control of the seas during the Napoleonic wars isolated mainland Europe from the Caribbean.

 Sugar -
Brown sugars are obtained in the late stages of sugar refining, when sugar forms fine crystals with significant molasses content, or by coating white refined sugar with a cane molasses syrup.
In 2004, the WTO sided with a group of cane sugar exporting nations led by Brazil, and ruled that the EU sugar regime and the accompanying ACP-EU Sugar Protocol, whereby a group of African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries are given preferential access to the European sugar market, are illegal.
The African, Caribbean, Pacific and Least developed country sugar exporters have reacted with dismay to the EU sugar proposals, arguing for a fairer reform of the EU regime which would be pro-development and meaningful towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

 Shift/Reduce Expression Parsing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
The Sugar expression parser is similar to the class of operator-precedence parsers, but has been extended to support common requirements when parsing expressions, such as function application, confix (grouping) operators, and operator name disambiguation.
Disambiguation of operator names is in many cases directly related to the state machine used to identify invalid sequences.
Disambiguation is possible when the possible meanings of the operator differ in the states that will result from their interpretation.

 Candy - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
Candies are prepared by dissolving sugar in water or milk to form a syrup, and boiling it until it starts to caramelize.
The eventual texture of candy depends on the temperature to which the sugar solution is boiled, since the presence of a solute in a liquid tends to elevate the boiling point of the liquid.
As the syrup is heated, it boils, which causes the sugar concentration in the syrup to increase due to evaporation of the water, which raises the boiling point even further.

 DNA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
Because pairing causes the nucleotide bases to face the helical axis, the sugar and phosphate groups of the nucleotides run along the outside; the two chains they form are sometimes called the "backbones" of the helix.
Within a gene, the sequence of nucleotides along a DNA strand defines a messenger RNA sequence which then defines a protein, that an organism is liable to manufacture or "express" at one or several points in its life using the information of the sequence.
In 1929 Phoebus Levene at the Rockefeller Institute identified the components (the four bases, the sugar and the phosphate chain) and he showed that the components of DNA were linked in the order phosphate-sugar-base.

 Glass - Free net encyclopedia
The materials definition of a glass is a uniform amorphous solid material, usually produced when a suitably viscous molten material cools very rapidly to below its glass transition temperature, thereby not giving enough time for a regular crystal lattice to form.
A simple example is when table sugar is melted and cooled rapidly by dumping the liquid sugar onto a cold surface.
The resulting solid is amorphous, not crystalline like the sugar was originally, which can be seen in its conchoidal fracture.
