Sugar is hygroscopic, so it pulls water with it. Lightbulb went off for diabetes mellitus!

Efflorescent, Deliquescent, Hygroscopic Compounds

Efflorescent, deliquescent and hygroscopic compounds are terminologies used in chemistry to describe the chemical changes that occur in a compound during a chemical reaction. These changes are reflective of the kind of bonding present in the reacting elements, their oxidation numbers, their affinity for electrons and their ability to displace other elements. Efflorescent, deliquescent and hygroscopic compounds is also indicative of the ability of the compounds to absorb of crystallization. When pellets of sodium hydroxide, washing soda crystals that is gotten from an airtight container, concentrated tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid and quicklime are each placed on a watch glass after noting their appearances carefully. When you leave each of these substances in the open for a while, you would notice some visible differences in their appearance which is an indication of their ability to either lose or gain moisture from the atmosphere.   Efflorescence: A number of crystalline salts will lose all or part of their water of crystallization when they are exposed to the atmosphere to form a lower hydrate or the anhydrous salt. This phenomenon is referred to as efflorescence while the salt is said to be efflorescent. A perfect example of a compound that undergoes efflorescence is washing soda where its molecules lose nine out of its ten molecules of water of crystallization when it is exposed to the open air.           Na2CO3.10H2O(s) → Na2CO3.H2O(s) Read the full article

So when I visited the Dead Sea, I brought home some of the salt rocks. And then the funny chemical hygroscopic behaviours show up. I’ve got my own humidity sensor at home. When the humidity goes too high, the capacity for the salt rock to retain moisture is exceeded and then the water comes out. And then the reverse.
