Sweetness and Power by Sidney Mintz takes into account a very broad scope of history. The book attempts to look at the consumption of sugar through an anthropological eye beginning with the earliest periods of documentation through present day. Mintz also includes a substantial introduction to the anthropological theory on food and culture, specifically looking at the carbohydrate core principal that is the cornerstone to Mintz's methodology.
