Why shoot yourself in the foot? Really, really Mumias, sugar with vitamin A, really??
Sugar is sugar is sugar! Sugar and health is like water and oil! they just don't go. If I was Mumias sugar, I'd stick to selling sugar as a sweetener and not a health food. That's a big miss for Mumias and they should withdraw it. Speak of lack of innovation....

BBI will solve it

@ 2012. you have along way to go. maybe it because we all cannot be health experts can we.anyway the raw sugar that we take is devoid of all vitamins.do you know what that means ???it means upon intake the vitamins that are supposed to break it down come from the body and thus get depleted as they have to be used to process the raw sugar.
If sugar consumption is continued, an over-acid condition results, and more minerals are needed from deep in the body to correct the imbalance. If the body is lacking the nutrients used to metabolize sugar, it will not be able to properly handle and rid itself of the poisonous residues.
These wastes accumulate through the brain and nervous system, which speeds up cellular death. The bloodstream becomes over-loaded with waste products and symptoms of carbonic poisoning result.

in conclusion by adding these vitamins the body is able to store its own vitamins and uses the vitamins in the sugar to process the sugar.

ITS A WIN SITUATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a bad move at all actually it will make their sugar more competitive its a collaboration with a UN body so its not like Mumias woke up one morning and decided to fortify their sugar.

Sugar is essential for a healthy being so I don't see why fortifying the sugar with vitamins contradict or makes them shoot their own leg.

@QW,
If this is the case then MSC should have put a warning on the sugar packet and recommend that once their sugar is consumed,one should take a vitamin A pill...
I also think these guys lack imagination...if they can come up with sugar that does not cause cavities,that would be nice or may be they should start making bottled sugar cane juice.I read somewhere that it is actually a healthy drink as it contains many minerals...

Boss you have lost me. How is Vitamin used in synthesis of sugar? I thought that only enzymes (proteins) are required.

smileFUN FACTS

Vitamin A is useful to the body and good for us. VitA in my sugar is a positive thing... eg. i can cut down on carrots...Applause

Vitamin A is not used in the breakdown of sugar.Sad

Sugar is good. It (sucrose in this case) is one of the most easily digested food... hence what we call "instant energy".smile

In a normal human body, sugar is bad only if it is taken in excess quantitiesShame on you ie. that cannot be expended as energy... then, it is stored as more complex carbohydrate in liver as an energy reserve... when liver reserves are adequate the body changes tact and stores as fat! The body is a genius and will fill every nook and cranny with any excess carbohydrates... (abdomen, hips, breasts, upper arms, thighs, around vital organs (heart/liver/digest system etc.) and INSIDE arteries / veinsAnxious ! Heck even the fat face. All this trouble is for a "rainy day" when food is scarce. Absolutely no carbohydrates get OUT of the body... so if I take 20Tuskers in one night I only let go of the precious water in the beer which ironically is the healthy part of the beerd'oh!

Sugar does not leave "poisonous residues" in the body... respiration of sugar uses oxygen and produces water and carbodioxide (green house gas: bad for the ozone but not bad for my body). Incase i take "dirty" sugar that may contain poisonous / toxic substances... it's most probable that VitaminA may NOT be the one that will deal with these...

As Selah has rightly put it,this is a project in collabo with a UN agency in an effort to get vital vitamins to the populace and what better way than to have them in sugar which is actually consumed by just about everybody.....ama waweke kwa Tusker?...Anyway,the target is mainly children and again,they will be fortifying about a tenth of their sugar and therefore consumers still have a choice.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
