Stearic Acid among Food Ingredients That Inhibit Cholesterol Absorption

I've been doing some heavy reading on Cholesterol (particularly, LDL) as my levels are through the roof, and got hooked on some researches. In this study, they enlist different food ingredients that seem to inhibit cholesterol absorption, what findings are available for each (some mentioned are plant sterols and fiber), and how they think it works within the body. To my surprise, Stearic Acid is mentioned:
STEARIC ACID
Stearic acid is an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid present in virtually all edible fats and oils, primarily as a constituent of triacylglycerol molecules. Common fats/oils in Western diets having the highest percentage of stearic acid are beef fat (20%) and cocoa butter (33%). Several tree nuts and seeds indigenous to West Africa, India, and Southeast Asia contain relatively high percentages of stearic acid, including dhupa, illipe, kokum, mango kernel, sal, and shea (132). The use of sheanut oil (shea butter) and sal oil has expanded into Europe and Japan as cocoa butter substitutes in chocolate making. These stearic acid-rich oils are also used in cosmetics, candles, and other industrial products worldwide. Sheanut oil contains about 38% stearic acid and sal oil contains about 34% stearic acid.
It is generally accepted worldwide that consumption of saturated fatty acids (SFA) raises LDL cholesterol concentration and increases the risk of atherosclerotic diseases. The World Health Organization, the European Food Safety Authority, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and many other organizations recommend limiting intake of SFA. However, stearic acid is unique among dietary SFA because it does not raise plasma cholesterol levels, as originally observed in the 1960s by Keys et al. (133) and Hegsted et al. (134). When replacing trans fatty acids or other saturated fatty acids in the diet, stearic acid lowers LDL cholesterol (135). The neutral or cholesterol lowering effect of dietary stearic acid has been observed repeatedly in animal and human studies (135–137). Despite these observations, the American Heart Association acknowledges that there is no simple way to incorporate specific information about stearic acid into dietary guidelines because stearic acid is generally found with other saturated fatty acids in foods and because the content of specific fatty acids is not provided to consumers (138).
Animal studies have demonstrated that the cholesterol-lowering effect of stearic acid is mediated by reducing cholesterol absorption. Feldman et al. (139,140) were the first to demonstrate a reduction in cholesterol absorption using three different methods to quantify cholesterol absorption (i.e., plasma isotope ratio method, fecal dual isotope method, and lymph duct cannulation), and in each case absorption was significantly decreased by stearic acid. Other studies using lymph duct cannulated rats fed stearic acid-enriched diets showed significant reductions in cholesterol absorption (141,142). Schneider et al. (143) used a more realistic dietary approach by feeding hamsters the NIH-07 cereal-based diet specifically enriched in single fatty acids (stearic, palmitic, oleic, linoleic, or trans fatty acids); cholesterol absorption was significantly reduced in hamsters fed stearic acid compared to the other fatty acids. As a result of lower cholesterol absorption, fecal cholesterol excretion was increased in rats and hamsters fed stearic acid diets (143–145).
Schmidt and Gallaher (146) reported that cholesterol solubilization was decreased within the intestinal contents of rats fed stearic acid-enriched diets. One possible mechanism of action of stearic acid is its ability to interfere with micelle formation through its incorporation into phospholipids. Unlike most of the other food components that inhibit cholesterol absorption, stearic acid is relatively well absorbed into the bloodstream and body tissues. Wang and Koo (147,148) reported that, after absorption, stearic acid was preferentially incorporated into hepatic and biliary phospholipids compared to other dietary fatty acids. Cohen and Carey (149) demonstrated that micelle stability and cholesterol solubility were impaired when micellar phospholipids contained stearic acid compared to unsaturated fatty acids. Another possible mode of action may involve alterations in the bile acid species present in the enterohepatic circulation. We have shown that dietary stearic acid decreased the proportion of secondary bile acids in the gallbladder compared to primary bile acids, thus decreasing the overall hydrophobicity index (150). Similarly, Hassel et al. (151) reported significantly lower proportions of secondary bile acids in feces of hamsters fed stearic acid. Secondary bile acids are more hydrophobic than primary bile acids and their diminished presence in the enterohepatic circulation can decrease the efficiency by which micelles solubilize cholesterol (40). It is also possible the stearic acid exerts some regulatory effect on cholesterol transport into (or within) the enterocyte, although this has not been reported. Nevertheless, dietary stearic acid most likely inhibits cholesterol absorption through systemic mechanisms rather than disrupting micelle formation through physical interactions within the intestinal lumen.

New Alphamusk collection AKA Sarabeth is about to vibe check us all

*disclaimer i'm not affiliated with alphamusk* Sarabeth put up her new "Vibes" collection about a day ago?? But now all of the descriptions are up for all 52 new scents! According to her esty she has about 20 bottles of each scent atm BUT whichever scents are the best sellers from this collection will become part of the permanent collection!
the vibes listing and all the new scent descriptions from her Etsy:
YOUTHFUL- is a blend of cream soda and skin milk it’s has the essence of a soda cream musk! Not overly sweet and very layer worthy to add a soft non-aldehydic creamy sparkle to scents. I feel as a preteen I always wore some vanilla bullshit and I am still quite the vanilla bullshit fan!
CHEERY- holy cow i am not a citrus lover at all but I’m in love with this blend, in fact I’ve worn it frequently as my daytime perfume of choice. This is a blend of a sugary iced tea, sugared ginger slices, and lemonade to make the sweetest Arnold Palmer. A barely detectable touch of skin musk to sleek out the vibe. Not too sweet but tons of sugar? I don’t know how but I did it. And y’all love tea so this is sure to cheer you up. And makeup-less Monroe has me swooning...
SHY- why why whyyyy can’t I just bathe in this! This will be permanent for sure as long as I can find more of the star of this blend, which is a arabian musk tahara, these are almost glue-like in texture and each have their own irresistible skin like sweet vibe this one smells like coconut and vanilla so I decided to amp that quality and I slowly cut in a coconut butter note, more of a desert actual butter and coconut not like the odorless oil, and marshmallow fluff. The musks natural vanilla quality sort of does it’s thing. It’s so soft and sweet and lovely with nothing to complicate it.
NO BULLSHIT- straight up red musk superior and my cool finished realistic leather and not a note more was needed, no bullshit!
MISCHIEVOUS- this starts with a dirty oak barrel aged brandy, some smooth sweet African green musk mystifies the blend and caramel apple makes you completely irresistible so you can basically get away with anything. I fucking love this one too! It’s not hyper seasonal even the Caramel Apple note often leans fall-ish.
CRAZY- sweet pistachio moist cake, (non oakmoss) green moss, the creamiest skin musk because you’ve crazily buttered up over and over again and a hefty dose of a gardenia lily perfume. It’s kinda all over the place and fucking delish!
SCHEMING- Salt water taffy blended with a golden amber accord. This is a rich blend of intoxicating ambers from all over that have a golden tone towards them. It smells so good it’s not overly sweet but the salt water taffy certainly adds an unusual twist to these ambers.
PLAYFUL- is a blend of a floral lightly minted musk, I use it as an unusual faint mixing musk sometimes. Next I added orange blossoms, neroli and cognac and it comes off really smooth and bright and well adult-playful though scents are ageless it is less youthful than you may expect a playful blend to be
BOSS- this is my first wine perfume and I definitely made it a boozy Cabernet. It almost gives me a wino drunk just sniffing at it. It’s sassy and bold and I use this Japanese strong lightly floral musk and some juicy rose to top note it off and let the wine remain the star of this blend like the boss it is.
SULTRY- is heady! it starts with a black cherry which I lend a bunch of orchids too and I keep that as the only floral in the blend. Smokey incense, and i added my favorite green Moss this is not an oakMoss, I didn’t want it to lean like a chypre. It’s finished with a beautiful soft Japanese musk which is a little less clean than a China musk and theres a touch of bourbon vanilla. this is not a vanilla scent; it’s quite aloof and carefree!
JOYOUS- is like a day sipping tea at a local bakery wearing your favorite sweet Rosey perfume. It’s got a cake mix note (slightly drier and less creamy cake note) and a sweeeet rose accord and a little bit of an atmospheric bakery vibe that has many elements like wax paper, flour, touches of cocoa.
EXTRA- oh I love this one! it is a blend of a house blend oriental chypre I have yet to pull out in any other scent as of yet. It’s like a chypre noir, sexy and soft. it has a lightly powdery non-baby powder vibe it with some chai tea this one sneaks up on you it comes out spicy and then soft and then sort of sweet
LEAVE ME BE- is a cold scent. It contains a blend of a note that I created by accident I call ‘stone wall’ which is essentially an industrial accord with a little bit of an earthy quality to it and a cooler green tone because it has a mass note. It contains an dark brown lightly animalistic with spice Arabian musk which I mellow out with a smoky oud and I just had to add some patchouli but I decided to go with a light white patchouli, the only thing sweet is a dollop of pistachio paste and then there’s some mud to keep people out of your business is a nice solid strong mud note but it’s blended so beautifully you can’t really tell that it’s there. just adds depth and attitude. Overall this leans a little bit traditionally masculine but this is just alpha style as everything is unisex.
VAIN- sugary spruce, spiced sugary chewy ginger, a classic uncomplicated chypre, and some caramel popcorn. It’s spicy, bold, the spruce makes it a bit cold, the ginger makes her sharp, and she can’t stop sniffing her fabulously interesting self.
EARNEST- Dry, sandy smooth desert like scent with some rose water musk. Lemon and lavender are quiet components that make it genuine and unique, subtle and kind.
SHADE- a stormy atmospheric accord cut with an earthy imported green Indian musk, that’s soft with some herbal qualities that’s blended with a minor touch of shifty animalistic musk. It’s casting a storm over whatever you shading you powerful bitch!
SWAG- rootbeer anyone? Says the babe wearing soft patchouli and violets and royal musks
COY- cotton candy ice cream in a sugar waffle cone and a coy babe wearing the perfect skin musk gardenia perfume
PLEASANT- this so close to my heart as I’d Sade but anyway the notes are a gorgeous soft rose with spices musk from Morocco, some sea minerals (not ocean think more rocks/salt air by ocean) and then some fresh city picked baltimore mulberry pie! It’s like eating mulberry pie at a sandy/yet grassy foragey bay beach on one of those super hot days that take you by surprise in early fall. Mulberries grow wild in Baltimore and I used to have some in the backyard of one of the many places I rented. Kids would knock on our door and ask if they could have some mulberries off the tree and they were so cute and pure about it, and nice to ask! Since the house was empty for ages they were familiar with the yard but still asked. Anyway they got me into mulberries which are a sweet mild berry similar to a blackberry but smaller and a bit grounded/earthy quality, somewhat mild.)
SPACEY- made with my son, Nico. A clear Blue-toned blending musk, blue Egyptian musk, blue cotton candy, skylite blue snowball syrup (another Baltimore thing but think less tropical blue Hawaiian flavor), some marshmallow on top of the snowball (Baltimore thing part 10888) and why not some bread to throw at the ducks while we eat our snowballs (even tho we aren’t supposed to 🤭)
COOL- soft clean cool af iris and a long cashmere sweater with some soft suede boots and vanilla woods to frolic upon
BADASS- dark aged patchouli, extremely dark black musk, and a furry brown loud but grounded musk
WHAT THE FUCK- teal musk, sharp heady Neroli, black as a moonless night coffee, sweetened, no cream, dark 89% cacao chocolate chunks, and wheat bread. It’s like wtf but still affable? I can’t figure out why I like it.., but I do! (teal musk is a blend of african clean mean and green musk, soft sweet Egyptian blue musk)
LOYAL- musk tahara, a mixing 70’s style musk, soft lilies and extra lilacs and a bright sparkle, a pheromonic glow, it ends up being a very unique lilac bright white musk with a skin but better vibe
SWEET- strawberry banana shortcake, sparkle, rose water musk, creamy amber
Dreamy- a rich dry cookie like vanilla, gentle relaxing dry peru balsam, arabian musk tahara, platinum amber white, creamy amber, this is a creamy beige soft lightly sweet ‘nude’ sweet skin musk with the tiniest hint of a sparkly musk bite

Reading notes: Civilization & Capitalism, 15th-18th Century, Vol. I: The Structures of Everyday Life

I first discovered Fernand Braudel when Tyler Cowen answered the question: "whose entire body of work is worth reading?", placing him next to people like Nietzsche and Hume. It was good advice.
Braudel begins working on his doctoral dissertation in 1923, at age 21, intending to concentrate on the policies of Philip II of Spain in the form of a conventional history. To support himself, he teaches in an Algerian high school for a decade, then at the university of Sao Paulo until 1937. During this period he keeps up with developments in France, especially Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre's Annales School, which focuses on long-term history and statistical data.
In 1934, 11 years after he began, Braudel starts to find quantitative data. Population figures, ship cargoes, prices, arrivals and departures. These will form the basis of his novel, data-driven approach. Five years later, in 1939, he finally has an outline ready.
Then the Nazis capture him. He spends the next 5 years in a POW camp where he writes the first draft of La Méditerranée without access to any materials, mailing notebooks back to Paris. When the war ends, he becomes the de facto leader of the second generation of the Annales School. An additional four years after that, 26 years after he started working on it, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II is published.
The general argument of this work is that history moves at different speeds, and one must distinguish them: the short term (daily events as perceived by contemporaries), the medium term ('economic systems, states, societies, civilisations'), and la longue durée – a perspective of centuries or millennia without which the shorter timeframes cannot be understood.
In the preface, Braudel declares: "I have always believed that history cannot be really understood unless it is extended to cover the entire human past." Civilization and Capitalism is built on similar principles.
The initial seeds for C&C were planted in 1950, when Febvre asked Braudel to contribute to a volume for a series on world history. Braudel would simply provide a summary of existing work on the development of capitalism. But Febvre died before the volume could be completed, and Braudel took responsibility for what turned out to be a three-volume series on capitalism. The first volume came out 17 years after work began, in 1967. The final volume would not be published until 1979.
A good starting point might be what is left out: politics, wars, dynasties, religion, ideology, peoples. The index of maps & graphs gives the reader a taste of what is to come: "Budget of a mason's family in Berlin about 1800"; "Bread weights and grain prices in Venice at the end of the sixteenth century"; "French Merchants registered as living in Antwerp, 1450-1585".
Reading Braudel one gets the impression of an infinite curiosity at work for decades, mining every source for the tiniest piece of data, and then magisterially combining everything together. Despite fairly brutal editing these notes are still way too long, and yet they struggle to capture even a tiny part of the detail and depth that the book contains.
Vol. I: The Structures of Everyday Life
The first volume aims to illuminate every aspect of material life: agriculture, food, dress, housing, towns, cities, energy, metals, machines, animals, transportation, money. Braudel's goal is not simply to examine each of these in isolation, but to show how all the elements of material life interact to form cultures, economies, systems of governance, power structures, long-term cycles or trends. He comes remarkably close to achieving this absurdly ambitious task. For people into worldbuilding this tome is pure gold. The first volume also has the greatest general appeal: unlike the other two which are somewhat esoteric, I think this is a book everyone will love.
In short, at the very deepest levels of material life, there is at work a complex order, to which the assumptions, tendencies and unconscious pressures of economies, societies and civilizations all contribute.
It is here that Braudel shows off his greatest skill, which is the combination of the microscopic with the panoramic. At the top level: Geography. Climate. Land. Crops. ZOOM IN Trading routes. Piracy. Economy. Cities. Technology. And then zoom into minute details like the price of wheat relative to oats in 1351 Paris. He shifts effortlessly between the global, long-term perspective and minute, specific data and anecdotes, combining the two to form a coherent understanding.
The Weight of Numbers
Everything, both in the short and long term, and at the level of local events as well as on the grand scale of world affairs, is bound up with the numbers and fluctuations of the mass of people.
The predominant feature of the ancien régime is malthusianism. From the 16th century on, Europe is constantly on the brink of overpopulation. Epidemics and famines establish balance, and occasional recessions in population create great wealth for the survivors. "Thus in Languedoc between 1350 and 1450, the peasant and his patriarchal family were masters of an abandoned countryside. Trees and wild animals overran fields that once had flourished." France had 26 general famines just in the 11th century; 16 in the 18th.
Famine recurred so insistently for centuries on end that it became incorporated into man's biological regime and built into his daily life. Dearth and penury were continual, and familiar even in Europe, despite its privileged position. [...] Things were far worse in Asia, China and India. Famines there seemed like the end of the world. In China everything depended on rice from the southern provinces; in India, on providential rice from Bengal, and on wheat and millet from the northern provinces, but vast distances had to be crossed and this contribution only covered a fraction of the requirements.
Slowly, expansion and improvements in agricultural productivity doubled the global population, which Braudel calls "indubitably the basic fact in world history from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century".
Almost all of these people live in the countryside. "The towns the historian discovers in his journeys back into pre-nineteenth-century times are small; and the armies miniature." The towns were also great population sinks, drawing in men from the countryside and killing them. Wild animals are everywhere, often a real threat. Even in Europe, which was full of wolves and bears.
A lapse in vigilance, an economic setback, a rough winter, and they multiplied. In 1420, packs entered Paris through a breach in the ramparts or unguarded gates. They were there again in September 1438, attacking people this time outside the town, between Montmartre and the Saint-Antoine gate. In 1640, wolves entered Besancon by crossing the Doubs near the mills of the town and 'ate children along the roads'.
He writes about the global ebb and flow of epidemics over the course of centuries, and how they were aided by global trade. And to illustrate their effect, he brings up statistics like the annual number of plague victims in the town of Strauling between 1623 and 1635 (702). He tells us of Montaigne, who as mayor of Bordeaux fled the town (like all rich people would) and abandoned his post during the 1585 plague. He quotes the diaries of Samuel Pepys ("the plague making us cruel, as doggs, one to another"). He quotes Francois Dragonet of Fogasses, a rich Avignon citizen of Italian origin, whose leases provided for a time when he would be obliged to leave the town (which he did in 1588, during a fresh plague) and lodge with his farmers: 'In case of contagion (God forbid), they will give me a room at the house... and I will be able to put my horses in the stable on my way there and back, and they will give me a bed for myself.' The dead pile up in the streets (Defoe: "for the most part on to a cart like common dung"), the palaces of the rich are looted.
Montaigne tells how he wandered in search of a roof when the epidemic reached his estate, 'serving six months miserably as a guide' to his 'distracted family, frightening their friends and themselves and causing horror wherever they tried to settle'.
Superfluity and Sufficiency: Food and Drink
Diets in this period were almost universally vegetable-based, especially outside Europe, for the simple reason that land devoted to cultivation is much more efficient. Braudel focuses on three major crops: wheat, rice, and maize. These crops sit at the basis of everything: they determine population size, and their required inputs determine labor relations, animal usage (which in turn need their own crops), and so on.
Thus there became established in Europe, with certain regional variations, 'a complicated system of relationships and habits', based on wheat and other grains, which was 'so firmly cemented together that no fissure was possible' according to Ferdinand Lot. Plants, animals and people each had their place in it. In fact the whole system was inconceivable without the peasants, the harnessed teams of animals, and the seasonal labourers at harvest and threshing time, since reaping and threshing was all done by hand. The fertile lowlands called on labour from poor land, inevitably wild highland regions. Innumerable examples (the southern Jura and Dombes, the Massif Central and Languedoc) demonstrate that the partnership was a basic rule of life, repeated on many occasions. An immense crowd of harvesters arrived every summer in the Tuscan Maremma, where fever was so prevalent, in search of high wages (up to five paoli a day in I796). Malaria regularly claimed innumerable victims there.
 
Wheat's unpardonable fault was its low yield: it did not provide for its people adequately. All recent studies establish the fact with an overwhelming abundance of detail and figures. Wherever one looks, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, the results were disappointing. For every grain sown, the harvest was usually no more than five and sometimes less.
Until very late, agricultural production was fertilizer-limited. In southern Europe half the field would lie fallow every year, and this only really changed after the industrial revolution. Trade happened on local exchanges, which combined with laws against "hoarding" made local shortages problematic. In the 16thC total maritime trade was perhaps 1% of total consumption. White bread was a luxury until the latter half of the 18thC. Flour doesn't keep well, so every town had a mill that worked daily (about 1 mill per 400 people); any interruption eg because of the river freezing immediately created supply problems.
Rice is an even more tyrannical and enslaving crop than wheat.
The key difference between rice and wheat is that the former can produce ~7.3 million kcals per hectare, whereas wheat can only reach 1.5 million. Unlike wheat, there was no need for fallow land, and by the 13thC in China a system of double (or sometimes triple) crop was established. "And thus the great demographic expansion of southern China began."
The high population density created by rice, combined with the necessity for elaborate top-down irrigation systems, resulted in strong state authority that constantly pursued large-scale works.
The problem then is that on one hand we have a series of striking achievements, on the other, human misery. As usual we must ask: who is to blame? Man of course. But maize as well.
While wheat yielded maybe 5 grains for every one planted, maize would yield 150x or more. It grows easily and requires little effort on the part of the farmer (perhaps 50 days per year). "The maize-growing societies on the irrigated terraces of the Andes or on the lakesides of the Mexican plateaux resulted in theocratic totalitarian systems and all the leisure of the peasants was used for gigantic public works of the Egyptian type."
After the discovery of the New World, potatoes and maize flowed back toward Eurasia, but very slowly. It took until the 18thC for maize to see widespread cultivation in Europe. The potato was strongly resisted everywhere, people thought it caused leprosy or flatulence; it only spread rapidly in the face of famine or war.
There is also an enormous region that spans the globe where work is done with a digging stick or hoe, and animals are generally not used. These societies are surprisingly homogeneous:
The world of men with hoes was characterized - and this is the most striking fact about it - by a fairly marked homogeneity of goods, plants, animals, tools and customs. We can say that the house of the peasant with a hoe, wherever it may be, is almost invariably rectangular and has only one storey. He is able to make coarse pottery, uses a rudimentary hand loom for weaving, prepares and consumes fermented drinks (but not alcohol), and raises small domestic animals - goats, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and sometimes bees (but not cattle). He lives off the vegetable world round about him: bananas, bread-fruit trees, oil palms, calabashes, taros and yams.
Eating Habits
Prices and therefore diets followed population numbers. Large-scale death from war or plague made meat accessible; overpopulation meant the peasants didn't even eat the wheat they produced.
Things had begun to change in the West by the middle of the sixteenth century. Heinrich Muller wrote in 1550 that in Swabia 'in the past they ate differently at the peasant's house. Then, there was meat and food in profusion every day; tables at village fairs and feasts sank under their load. Today, everything has truly changed. Indeed, for some years now, what a calamitous time, what high prices! And the food of the most comfortably-off peasants is almost worse than that of day-labourers and valets in the old days.
 
The peasant often sold more than his 'surpluses', and above all, he never ate his best produce: he ate millet and maize and sold his wheat; he ate salt pork once a week and took his poultry, eggs, kids, calves and lambs to market.
Spoons and knives were old customs, but the fork dates to the 16thC and spread from Venice.
Anne of Austria ate her meat with her fingers all her life. And so did the Court of Vienna until at least 1651. Who used a fork at the Court of Louis XIV? The Duke of Montausier, whom Saint-Simon describes as being 'of formidable cleanliness'. Not the king, whose skill at eating chicken stew with his fingers without spilling it is praised by the same Saint-Simon! When the Duke of Burgundy and his brothers were admitted to sup with the king and took up the forks they had been taught to use, the king forbade them to use them. This anecdote is told by the Princess Palatine, with great satisfaction: she has 'always used her knife and fingers to eat with'.
The Baron de Tott has left a humorous description of a reception in the country house near Istanbul of 'Madame the wife of the First Dragoman', in 1760. This class of rich Greeks in the service of the Grand Turk adopted local customs, but liked to make some difference felt. 'A circular table, with chairs all round it, spoons, forks nothing was missing except the habit of using them. But they did not wish to omit any of our manners which were just becoming as fashionable among the Greeks as English manners are among ourselves, and I saw one woman throughout the dinner taking olives with her fingers and then impaling them on her fork in order to eat them in the French manner'.
In the West, eggs were accessible to most people, as were cheese and milk. Butter remained limited to Northern Europe. Fish were generally an important source of nourishment, but with large regional variation. The Atlantic coast was particularly advanced in its exploitation of the ocean.
Fish was all the more important here as religious rulings multiplied the number of fast days: 166 days, including Lent, observed extremely strictly until the reign of Louis XIV. Meat, eggs and poultry could not be sold during those forty days except to invalids and with a double certificate from doctor and priest. To facilitate control, the 'Lent butcher' was the only person authorized to sell prohibited foods at that time in Paris, and only inside the area of the Hotel Dieu.
Sugar was brought from the East, with a lot of regional variation in consumption. "In 1800 England consumed 150,000 tons of sugar annually, almost fifteen times more than in 1700." But in other parts of Europe it was virtually unknown. Cultivation of sugar was a labor- and capital-intensive enterprise, and often in sugar colonies there was no space left for any other crops: food had to be imported.
Drinks, stimulants and drugs
Water was generally hard to find. Couldn't be stored on ships, and many cities (like Venice) lacked a real supply and instead relied on filtered rain water and water brought from the mainland. Few aqueducts remained in use, though some were restored in the 15thC (Rome, Paris). Some places used hydraulic wheels to pump water from rivers. The late 18thC saw steam pumps in London and Paris, replacing water-carrying laborers. Snow water was reserved for the wealthy; there was a trade in it, with ships filled with snow moving around the Mediterranean.
Everyone drank wine, and alcoholism was increasingly a problem. The production was generally in the south of Europe, and trade brought it to the north. But it was all new wine, as it did not keep well: regular use of corks would take until the 17thC. The non-wine growing regions had beer, which the south "vigorously opposed". In some areas consumption reached 3 liters per day. "Beer of superior quality was being exported as far as the East Indies from Brunswick and Bremen by the end of the seventeenth century." Cider only started making headway in the 16thC, among the poor. Other civilizations fermented maple juice, agave, or maize.
The great innovation, the revolution in Europe was the appearance of brandy and spirits made from grain - in a word: alcohol. The sixteenth century created it; the seventeenth consolidated it; the eighteenth popularized it.
Stills existed in the West before the 12thC, but things took a while to get going. And the stills would remain primitive until 1773. The drinks started out as medicine. Various guilds fought hard for the privilege of producing Brandy in France. Further north where they had no vines for brandy, grain spirits were most popular. "By the early eighteenth century, the whole of London society, from top to bottom, was determinedly getting drunk on gin."
At nearly the same time as the discovery of alcohol, Europe, at the centre of the innovations of the world, discovered three new drinks, stimulants and tonics: coffee, tea and chocolate. All three came from abroad: coffee was Arab (originally Ethiopian); tea, Chinese; chocolate, Mexican.
Samuel Pepys drank his first cup of tea on September 25, 1660. A century later the English were consuming it by the boatload.
Superfluity and Sufficiency: Houses, Cloths and Fashion
The basic constraint on housing is local materials, and as such houses only change very slowly. Stone mostly for the upper classes; wood (which was gradually replaced by brick) and thatched roof for most people. Earthen dwellings where neither stone nor wood existed. In rural areas they were extremely simple.
Villages were often mobile, "they grew up, expanded, contracted, and also shifted their sites. Sometimes these 'desertions' were total and final - the Wustungen mentioned by German historians and geographers. More often the centre of gravity within a given cultivated area shifted, and everything - furniture, people, animals, stones - was moved out of the abandoned village to a site a few kilometres away."
On 3 February 1695 the Princess Palatine wrote: 'At the king's table the wine and water froze in the glasses.' [...] When the severity of the weather increased, as in Paris in 1709, 'the people died of cold like flies'.(2 March). In the absence of heating since January (again according to the Princess Palatine) 'all entertainments have ceased as well as law suits'.
No fireplaces set in the wall before the 12thC. They spread fast, but the design was deficient and they were not very useful for warming homes. In the early 18thC, new chimney designs utilizing the draught vastly improve the fireplace.
Almost no furnishings or other possessions. "Official reports for Burgundy between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries are full of 'references to people [sleeping] on straw... with no bed or furniture' who were only separated 'from the pigs by a screen'." Outside Europe even chairs were a rarity. In general there was very limited production of such items, and renovations were a large expense even for the rich. The (water-powered) mechanical saw and the plane only came to Europe in the 13thC.
Costume and fashion
Subject to incessant change, costume everywhere is a persistent reminder of social position. The sumptuary laws were therefore an expression of the wisdom of governments but even more of the resentment of the upper classes when they saw the nouveaux riches imitate them.
In societies that remained stable over time, so did dress. China, Japan, even Algiers. "The Indian women in New Spain in Cortes' day wore long tunics, sometimes embroidered, made of cotton and later of wool: and so they did still in the eighteenth century. Male costume, on the other hand, changed - but only to the extent that the conquerors and missionaries demanded clothing decently concealing the nudity of the past." Even in Western Europe in the early 19thC, peasants were still wearing simple coarse cloth that had not changed much for centuries. "In fact, the further back in time one goes, even in Europe, one is more likely to find the still waters of ancient situations like those we have described in India, China and Islam. The general rule was changelessness." The long robes which had persisted from Roman times were only abandoned around 1350.
Tradition was both a strength and a straitjacket. Perhaps if the door is to be opened to innovation, the source of all progress, there must be first some restlessness which may express itself in such trifles as dress, the shape of shoes and hairstyles? Perhaps too, a degree of prosperity is needed to foster any innovating movement?
People in Europe were dirty. In the late 18thC people in Paris might bathe once or twice per year.
The West even experienced a significant regression from the point of view of body baths and bodily cleanliness from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. [...] After the sixteenth century, public baths became less frequent and almost disappeared, it was said because of the risk of infection and in particular the terrible disease of syphilis. Another reason was no doubt the influence of preachers, both Catholic and Calvinist, who fulminated against the moral dangers and ignominy of the baths. Although rooms for bathing survived in private homes for a long time, the bath became a means of medication rather than a habit of cleanliness.
The Spread of Technology: Sources of Energy, Metallurgy
There are times when technology represents the possible, which for various reasons - economic, social or psychological men are not yet capable of achieving or fully utilizing; and other times when it is the ceiling which materially and technically blocks their efforts. In the latter case, when one day the ceiling can resist the pressure no longer, the technical breakthrough becomes the point of departure for a rapid acceleration. However, the force that overcomes the obstacle is never a simple internal development of technology or science, or at any rate not before the nineteenth century.
Energy was the key problem. Coal had been used in Europe since the 11thC and in China perhaps as early as 4000 BC, but it took very long to realize how much potential it had. Instead the sources of energy were human power, animals, wind and water, and wood.
Particularly outside Europe, human power was used to an extreme degree. And cheap labor was a problem for the development of machinery.
The precondition for progress was probably a reasonable balance between human labour and other sources of power. The advantage was illusory when man competed with machines inordinately, as in the ancient world and China, where mechanization was ultimately blocked by cheap labour.
In the Old World, camels and mules were indispensable for transportation. Oxen were everywhere, mostly for working the land but also for transportation. Later farming practices replaced them with horses, but that required improvements in harnesses and other horse technology improvements (and it would take very long for these advancements to spread - "The Chinese were still using wooden saddles and ordinary ropes instead of reins in the eighteenth century.") Lavoisier estimated 1.8 million horses and 3 million oxen in France.
The West experienced its first mechanical revolution in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Not so much a revolution, perhaps, as a whole series of slow changes brought about by the increased numbers of wind- and watermills. The power from these 'primary engines' was probably not very great, from two to five horse-power from a water-wheel, sometimes five, at most ten, from the sails of a windmill. But they represented a considerable increase of power in an economy where power supplies were poor. And they undoubtedly played a part in Europe's first age of growth.
 
The uses of the water-wheel had become manifold; it worked pounding devices for crushing minerals, heavy tilt hammers used in iron-forging, enormous beaters used by cloth fullers, bellows at iron-works; also pumps, grindstones, tanning mills and paper mills, which were the last to appear. We should also mention the mechanical saws that appeared in the thirteenth century.
Watermills provided power for mines, which saw a rise in the 15C: they raised ore, ventilated galleries, pumped water, etc. On the eve of the industrial revolution there were perhaps 500,000 watermills in Europe.
Windmills were a later invention, and the key development was to fit the wheel vertically (as opposed to horizontally, as they had been used in China for centuries), which greatly increased their power. Their uses were not limited to milling; in the Netherlands they drove bucket chains that drained water, a key instrument in draining water to reclaim land.
Wood was important both directly as a source of energy when burned, and as a building material for machines, ships, etc. Huge transportation costs unless it could be floated down a waterway. By the 18thC demand and prices had skyrocketed. "In France in the eighteenth century, it was said that a single forge used as much wood as a town the size of Chalons-sur-Marne. Enraged villagers complained of the forges and foundries which devoured the trees of the forests, not even leaving enough for the bakers' ovens."
As for coal, there were two key locations in Europe: Liege and Newcastle. Newcastle's coal production increased 15x between the mid-16th and mid-17th century.
It was an integral part of the coal revolution that modernized England after 1600, enabling fuel to be used in a series of industries with large outputs: the manufacture of salt by evaporating sea water; the production of sheets of glass, bricks, and tiles; sugar refining; the treatment of alum, previously imported from the Mediterranean but now developed on the Yorkshire coast; not to mention the bakers' ovens, breweries and the enormous amount of domestic heating that was to pollute London for centuries.
 
There was thus an often imperceptible or unrecognized industrial pre-revolution in an accumulation of discoveries and technical advances, some of them spectacular, others almost invisible: various types of gear-wheels, jacks, articulated transmission belts, the 'ingenious system of reciprocating movement' , the fly-wheel that regularized any momentum, rolling mills, more and more complicated machinery for the mines. [...] It is revealing to see how European travellers unfailingly comment on the contrast between the primitive machinery in use in India and China, and the quality and refinement of its products.
 
With the coming of steam, the pace of the West increased as if by magic. But the magic can be explained: it had been prepared and made possible in advance.
Iron
Today production is calculated in thousands of tons; 200 years ago they talked about 'hundredweights', which were quintals, the equivalent of fifty present-day kilograms. That is the difference in scale. It divides two civilizations. As Morgan wrote in 1877= 'When iron succeeded in becoming the most important production material, it was the event of events in the evolution of humanity.'
In 1800 metallurgy was still mostly traditional, the economy was dominated by textiles. Metallurgical products other than luxury items did not travel.
We are speaking of the period before the first smelting of steel, before the discovery of puddling, before the general use of coke for smelting, before the long sequence of famous names and processes: Bessemer, Siemens, Martin, Thomas. We are speaking of what was still another planet.
There were two major advances: an early one in China which stagnated by the 13thC, and the later one in Europe leading up to the industrial revolution.
After two smeltings in the crucible, the product obtained enabled the Chinese to cast ploughshares or cooking pots in series - an art that the West discovered only some eighteen or twenty centuries later. [...] Another triumph of Asiatic smelting by crucible was the manufacture - thought by some to be of Indian origin, by others Chinese - of a special kind of steel, 'high quality carbonized steel', as good as the best hypereutectoid steels made today. The nature of this steel and the secrets of its manufacture remained a mystery to Europeans until the nineteenth century. [...] What is so extraordinary is that after this incredibly early start, Chinese metallurgy progressed no further after the thirteenth century. Chinese foundries and forges made no more discoveries, but simply repeated their old processes. Coke-smelting if it was known at all - was not developed. It is difficult to ascertain this, let alone explain it. But Chinese development as a whole poses the same problem time after time: veiled in mystery, it has not yet been resolved.
In Europe, the water-wheel was crucial in the development of iron-smelting, starting with blast furnaces in the 14thC. Water powered enormous bellows and pounding devices - ironworks had to move from forests to riversides. Generally everything was made in small workshops with a master and 3 or 4 workers, but these tended to be concentrated: Brescia had perhaps 200 arms factories.
The Spread of Technology: Revolution and Delays
Innovations penetrated only slowly and with difficulty. The great technological 'revolutions' between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries were artillery, printing and ocean navigation. But to speak of revolution here is to use a figure of speech. None of these was accomplished at breakneck speed, and only the third - ocean navigation - eventually led to an imbalance, or 'asymmetry' between different parts of the globe.
Gunpowder
Produced in China from the 9thC. In Europe, it took to the 14-15thC for pieces to become larger and gunpowder cheaper. Mobility was an issue, large teams of horses needed to move them. Early cannons fired on walls almost at point-blank range. Defense design changed from stone ramparts to earthworks. Installed on ships very early on, by late 14thC all English ships had some artillery. But it was a bit of a mess, and cannon-ports were not a regular feature up to the 16thC. Arquebuses appear in the 15thC, slow and cumbersome. Muskets a bit later, similar issues. Only with the rifle at the start of the 18thC we start seeing large changes.
The new warfare has huge costs, favoring centralization and rich states: independent cities are eliminated. Gunpowder is a huge part of this expense. In the late 16thC, Venice had gunpowder in store that cost more than the entire annual receipts of the city.
Paper and Printing
A similar story to gunpowder. Originally developed in the East. Industry took off by the application of water-wheel power to manufacture. "The invention travelled round the world. Like gunners looking for hire, printing workers with makeshift equipment wandered at random, settled down when the opportunity offered and moved on again to accept the welcome of a new patron." Spread fairly quickly around Europe at the end of the 15thC. Perhaps 20 million books printed before 1500 (for a population of 70 million). A key ingredient in 16thC humanism (spreading Greek/Latin thought and mathematics), and later the reformation and counter-reformation.
Ocean Navigation
"The conquest of the high seas gave Europe a world supremacy that lasted for centuries." It also presents a problem: why was this technology not diffused into other cultures?
The Chinese junks, despite their many advantages (sails, rudders, hulls with watertight compartments, compasses after the eleventh century, and a large displacement volume from the fourteenth), went as far as Japan but did not venture beyond the Gulf of Tonkin to the south.
Shipbuilding technology in Europe drew from diverse traditions. The 15thC Portuguese caravel was a marriage of north and south. There was a fairly long history of exploration: the Faroes and Greenland were found multiple times in the first millenium. The Vivaldi brothers attempted to reach the Indies at the end of the 13thC, but were lost at sea. In the 15thC the Chinese started making some voyages of exploration under the Muslim eunuch admiral Cheng Huo. The seventh and last voyage reached Hormuz. Then everything just stopped.
The Atlantic consists of three large wind and sea circuits, shown on a map as three great ellipses. The currents and winds will take a boat in either direction with no effort on its part, as both the Vikings' circuit of the North Atlantic and the voyage of Columbus demonstrate.
For this to be achieved, "Europe had to be aroused to a more active material life, combine techniques from north and south, learn about the compass and navigational charts and above all conquer its instinctive fear." Perhaps the growth of Capitalist forces was what made these voyages possible. But it was not entirely a matter of money: both China and Islam were rich societies at the time.
What historians have called the hunger for gold, the hunger to conquer the world or the hunger for spices was accompanied in the technological sphere by a constant search for new inventions and utilitarian applications - utilitarian in the sense that they would actually serve mankind, making human labour both less wearisome and more efficient. The accumulation of practical discoveries showing a conscious will to master the world and a growing interest in every source of energy was already shaping the true face of Europe and hinting at things to come, well before that success was actually achieved.
Transport
Up to the eighteenth century, sea journeys were interminable and overland transport went at snail's pace. [...] The 'defeat of distance', as Ernst Wagemann calls it, was only to be achieved after 1875, with the laying of the first intercontinental cable. True mass communication on a world scale did not appear until the age of the railway, the steamship, telegraph and telephone. Very little changed in terms of the means of transportation across this time. Paul Valery pointed out that 'Napoleon moved no faster than Julius Caesar'. Stone/paved roads increased speeds a bit, but these long remained exceptions. The 18C saw improvements with paved roads + stagecoaches, prefiguring the railway. These were the result of large-scale investment, what economic growth made possible in practice what was possible technically much earlier.
Roadside inns and staging houses important. Typically these had to be reached by evening. "A Neapolitan traveller described these inns more simply in 1693: 'They are nothing but... long stables where the horses occupy the central part; the sides are left for the Masters.' [...] Amenities and speed were the privileges of populated and firmly maintained, 'policed', lands: China, Japan, Europe, Islam."
Sea routes were fixed, being dependent on winds. Water was more efficient of course (perhaps even by a factor of 100), so a waterway brought activity to the areas around it.
Money
The same process can be observed everywhere: any society based on an ancient structure which opens its doors to money sooner or later loses its acquired equilibria and liberates forces that can never afterwards be adequately controlled.
Barter remained the general rule over most of the globe up to the 18th century. Depending on local conditions barter could be partially replaced by primitive currencies such as cowrie shells. Often a highly valued/circulated commodity plays the role of money, for example salt in Senegal. Iceland had dried fish, Alaska and Russia furs. Other places used cloth, gold dust, copper bracelets, animals, sugar, cocoa. In some places these lasted for a very long time: Corsica "was not annexed by a really efficient monetary economy until after the First World War."
And early metallic money faced problems with speculation, only existed in large denominations, and was often scarce. The limitations meant that the coins barely touched the masses. Japan, India, Islam, and China were familiar with coinage from early on. China even experimented with paper money from the 9th to the 14thC, but hyperinflation ruined the system. Afterwards China used cumbersome copper and lead coins, with silver for higher level transactions.
In Europe the metals used were typically gold, silver, and copper. When and where these were used depended on the economy, the relative values of the metals, etc.
Their production was irregular and never very flexible, so that depending on circumstances, one of the two metals would be relatively more plentiful than the other; then, with varying degrees of slowness, the situation would reverse, and so on. This resulted in upsets and disasters on the exchanges, and led above all to those slow but powerful fluctuations which were a feature of the monetary ancien regime. It is a well-known truth that 'silver and gold are hostile brothers'.
In general the flow of specie after the age of exploration was from the New World and Europe, and into the Indies and China, as that is what the Europeans exchanged for commodities from the East.
The 'jingle of coin' thus found its way into everyday life by many different paths. The modern state was the great provider (taxes, mercenaries' pay in money, office-holders' salaries) and recipient of these transfers; but not the only one. Many people were well placed to benefit: the tax-collector, the salt-tax farmer, the pawnbroker, the landowner, the large merchant entrepreneur and the 'financier'. Their net stretched everywhere. And naturally this new wealthy class, like their equivalent today, did not arouse sympathy.

Cocoa Products Market Expected to Deliver Dynamic Progression until 2026

The global cocoa products market size was valued at $24.5 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% to reach a value of $30.2 billion in 2026. Based on product type, the cocoa beans segment accounted for the highest contribution in the cocoa products market and is expected to continue the lead throughout the forecast period. Cocoa is a product that can be derived by processing the seeds of the cacao tree. Cocoa has its origin in Latin America, however today it is cultivated in almost all tropical regions from West and Central Africa to Asia and Oceania. There are numerous products manufactured from cocoa seeds such as cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder.
