Some interesting facts about sugar:

-The average American eats 61 pounds of refined sugar each year, including 25 pounds of candy. Halloween accounts for at least two pounds of that.

- Sugar may give you wrinkles via a process called glycation, in which excess blood sugar binds to collagen in the skin, making it less elastic.

- Cutting back on sugar may help your skin retain its flexibility.

- A compound called lugduname is the sweetest compound known- more than 200,000 times as sweet as table sugar.

The next 3 I found to be really interesting:

- Sugars are the building blocks of carbohydrates, the most abundant type of organic molecules in living things.

- Glycolaldehyde, an eight-atom sugar, has even been found in an interstellar gas cloud near the center of the Milky Way.

- Glycolaldehyde can react with a three-carbon sugar to form the basis for both RNA and DNA,so the glycolaldehyde found in deep space may be a chemical precursor to life on Earth.

- The sugar glucosamine works as a immunosupressant in mice, and xylitol can prevent ear infections in kids.

- I forgot the name of it, but there's a neutron star that spins 720 times in a second.

- The surface of this neutron star is 1 billion times harder than steel.
