Big Joe Williams – Sugar Diabetes Blues

Heroin is nothing but a chemical. They take the juice of the poppy and they

refine it into opium and then they refine it to morphine and finally to heroin.

ZZ Top – Brown Sugar

Sugar is nothing but a chemical. They take the juice of the cane or the beet and then refine it to molasses and then they refine it to brown sugar and finally to strange white crystals.

Sugar Shack (Extra Long Remix) · Bigg Robb

Sugar Blues stands out more than any other work before or since in terms of its far-reaching and farfetched attempts to vilify sugar: the author (William Dufty) depicted sugar quite literally as a scourge to humanity.

Gloria Swanson Show–Dick Gregory, William Dufty, 1977 TV
Gloria Swanson hosts this rare 1977 TV round-table discussion of her life and career, and particularly her health crusade against sugar, with husband William Dufty (author of “Lady Sings the Blues”), comic Dick Gregory, Broadway producer Arthur Whitelaw, consumer advocate Herb Denenberg, and Beech-Nut president Frank Nicholas.

Dufty implicated sucrose as being a contributor to a variety of what are often

termed mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, addiction, and alcoholism. Dufty argued that what was perceived as witchcraft several hundred years ago may in fact have been due to a madness brought on by eating sugar.

Additionally, a case was made by Dufty for sugar being a possible cause of the bubonic plague…tuberculosis, suicide, epilepsy, crime, divorce, baldness, impotency, varicose veins, and of course cancer…

Further, in this same treatise some of the more common charges against sugar were described including of course hypoglycemia…hyperactivity, vitamin deficiencies…obesity, heart disease, tooth decay, ulcers, and diabetes mellitus.
