Sugar is a class of edible crystalline substances including sucrose, lactose, and fructose. Human taste buds interpret its flavor as sweet. Sugar as a basic food carbohydrate primarily comes from sugar cane and from sugar beet, but also appears in fruit, honey, sorghum, sugar maple (in maple syrup), and in many other sources. It forms the main ingredient in much candy. Excessive consumption of sugar has been associated with increased incidences of type 2 diabetes, obesity and tooth decay. Caramelization is the oxidation of sugar, a process used extensively in cooking for the resulting nutty flavor and brown color. Caramelization of food that doesn't contain carbohydrates is impossible (just by cooking it). Meat contains virtually NO carbohydrates so cooking it won't produce any type of caramelization. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between an amino acid and a reducing sugar, usually requiring heat. Like caramelization, it is a form of non-enzymatic browning. Chefs have been cooking combinations of meats and various forms of carbohydrates to produce Maillard browning. Caramelization, however, is an entirely different process from Maillard browning, though the results of the two processes are sometimes similar to the naked eye (and tastebuds). Caramelization may sometimes cause browning in the same foods in which the Maillard reaction occurs, but the two processes are distinct. They both are promoted by heating, but the Maillard reaction involves amino acids, as discussed above, while caramelization is simply the pyrolysis of certain sugars. In short: caramelization requires sugars (simple carbohydrates) and meat contains NO carbohydrates. So no matter how much you cook meat it doesn't caramelise and obviously doesn't convert into sugar!! Cooking food starts a series of complex chemical reactions that change the flavour of the food and in many cases makes it easier to digest. This is not only true for meats but for vegetables, grains and legumes as well!! Do you eat your potatoes RAW inmendham? What about your rice? Corn? Eggplant? Beans? Wheat? If your theory that we shouldn't be eating things that we have to cook for flavour or digestibility was true then we shouldn't be boiling, frying or baking potatoes, rice, beans etc !! So stop "tenderising" your vegetables, grains and legumes you fucking moron because that means we didn't evolve to eat them!! My next video will debunk your ignorant theory that "everything the human body digests is transformed into sugar"!! "you fucking stupid idiot"
