It's all well and good to like "azúcar", but as everything else in life... in moderation. After the overview of Celia Cruz's career, we look at sugar from a critical point of view.
This is a rather old interview with Felicity Lawrence, a British author who warned against the dangers of excessive sugar in processed food. I would like you to notice the use of several adjective+noun and adverb+adjective collocations, and to try these comprehension questions:
1. What is the meaning of "acquiring a taste for sth"? When does she use this expression?
2. Why do parents resort to processed food (e.g. formula milk) so early in the baby's life?
3. How does she explain our liking of sweetness in evolutionary terms?
4. What kind of sweeteners can be found in baby's food?
5. What's the main problem with eating refined sugar?
The key, coming soon here. But let me insist on sharing your answers in the comments section!
