Cane sugar, in the pro- cess of digestion, owing to the action of the pancreatic juices, is converted into glucose, and after its absorption it is completely utilized in furnishing] heat and energy. LI‘ Sugar is also found in vegetables, gfruits and milk. The greatest amount {comes from sugar cane, which is a 1 plant somewhat resembling corn. It is crushed between rollers, extract- ling the sweet juice, which is elarified iand evaporated until, upon cooling, its ierystals appear in a thick liquid. This }liquid is molasses. The crystals are =brown sugar.
