Sugar was first produced from sugarcane plants in northern India sometime after the first century CE. In fact, the process of refining sugar was invented in the Indian subcontinent 8,000 years ago, where sugarcane has been grown for thousands of years since the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization. Some sugars are found naturally in foods (e.g. fruit, vegetables and milk) while others are used during processing and cooking. As a matter of fact, sugar has a high calorie content that will give your body energy that you lack. Besides, its glycolic acid can be very helpful in maintaining the health and look of your skin. Using it can indeed help eliminate blemishes and restore the balance in the skin’s oils.
