Sachets of Tate and Lyle sugar are seen on a glass table outside a coffee shop in Belfast July 1, 2010. Britain's Tate & Lyle sold its European sugar operations to American Sugar Refining for 211 million pounds ($315 million), breaking a 150-year link to sugar in favour of low-calorie sweeteners offering faster growth.
