Properties of White Sugar in Remedies and Preservation
White sugar is noted as a remedy for drunkenness in some cases, though the rationale is unclear. It may alter the stomach’s fermentation and form new compounds to neutralize liquors. It is observed that animals cannot breathe in water containing even small amounts of sugar. In Europe, fish preservation sometimes uses sugar inside the viscera to keep fish fresh longer, with salmon cited as particularly well preserved.
