Another essential item to have in the household for sure. It has many uses, and is not unhealthy really. The right sugar to stock up on is cane sugar, stay away from beet sugar and any corn derived sugars, those are the unhealthy ones. Cane sugar can help in healing, preserve food, provide energy, and boost morale, to mention a few. It helps with hydration, and can help cure diarrhea. Sugar mixed with salt and water is an electrolyte which assists in hydration. Buy the packages wrapped in plastic to protect it against insects. If you buy them in bulk, transfer them to mylar containers and 5-gallon buckets for proper storing.
