Generally speaking, Sugar provides a sweet tasting stimulation to the gustatory nerves in human biology. The chemical formula of sugar is C12H22O11, a covalent bond due to its non metallic atom. Pure sugar is most often prepared as a fine, colorless, odorless crystalline powder that melts decomposes at 186 °C. It forms caramel and produces carbon, carbon dioxide, and water when combusted. It’s an acidic solution that has a pH of 4.3. Chemists found that this material is reactive with sulfuric acid, nitric acid, but will not occur the polymerization. What’s more, this material is easily soluble in cold water or methanol according to research. In a similar way, the second ingredient, glucose syrup, is the another significant product of saccharification that used in countless food products and beverages. This covalent bond have the chemical formula C6H12O6 that is stable and decomposes when boiling, and have a melting point of 146°C (294.8°F). There is no corrosion in the presence of glass in this material, and easily soluble in cold water. More importance, the toxicity of this material included 25800 mg acute oral toxicity each kilogram. The next ingredient is a very common

As a matter of fact, many health scientists provides sources to prove that overeating Sickers out of a moderate amount will be harmful to people’s health in many ways. In Chemistry, analyzing the hazards of each ingredient can also support this opinion. In these five Snickers’s main ingredients, both sugar and glucose syrup contain high sweetness level, overeating will rise the glycemic index and even lead to many of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, if the intaking amount of salt is higher than the human’s daily need, it may cause other diseases like high blood pressure.
