Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Hi, Somebody asked about molasses. Lots of info on sugars : http://www.curezone.com/foods/sugarpage.asp Brown Rice Syrup (Rice malt) is made from (yeast culture) fermented brown rice and sprouted whole barley. Like barley malt, it is ground and heated to make a thick syrup. Because of its mild taste, it can be used as a substitute for white or brown sugar. OK for sick people but not too much ! It is one of the best of all concentrated sweeteners ! Avoid it if you have Candida Albicans (yeast) problem ! 40 % complex carbohydrates (starch) 57 % maltose Barley Malt Syrup is made from (yeast culture) fermented whole barley which is sprouted to break down some of the carbohydrate into the simple sugar maltose. It is then ground and heated to make a thick syrup. Barley malt is a good substitute for brown and white sugar. It is delicious in hot breakfast cereals, cookies, breads, muffins, and recipes using carob. OK for sick people but not too much ! It is one of the best of all concentrated sweeteners ! Avoid it if you have Candida Albicans (yeast) problem ! 33 % complex carbohydrates (starch) 66 % maltose Granulated Brown Rice Sweeteners are made from dried brown rice syrup or a combination of dried brown rice syrup and powdered grape juice concentrate. Brown rice sweeteners have a very mild flavor and can be used to replace white or brown sugar in baked goods. OK for sick people but not too much ! It is good concentrated sweeteners ! Avoid it if you have Candida Albicans (yeast) problem ! 33 % or more complex carbohydrates 66 % maltose, fructose, glucose, and sucrose Fruit Concentrate/Sweetener includes frozen juice concentrates such as grape or apple juice and refrigerated jars of fruit concentrates which are typically blends of juices such as peach, pear, and pineapple juice. Fruit concentrates are thicker than fruit juice concentrates and are made by cooking whole fruits at very low temperatures until they have been reduced to a thick syrup. Fruit sweeteners work well in most baked goods. They are not much better then white or brown sugar !!! If you are sick, avoid it !!! 1 % complex carbohydrates 90 - 96 % simple sugars, fructose, glucose, and sucrose Maple Syrup is made from the sap of sugar maple trees. Thirtyfive to 50 gallons of sap are boiled to produce one gallon of maple syrup. Grade A maple syrup has a lighter color and flavor than Grade B, which is darker with a stronger flavor. It is not much better then white or brown sugar!!! I do not recommend it !!! 1 % complex carbohydrates 96 % sucrose Honey is a mixture of acid secretions from the glands of honeybees and nectar from flowers. Although honey is a natural sweetener, it is considered a refined sugar because 96% of dry matter are simple sugars: fructose, glucose and sucrose. It is sweeter and higher in calories than refined white sugar. Honey does contain some B vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. However, the enzymes are generally destroyed by high heat causing the honey to lose nutritional properties when used in baking. God to use in special cures, but not as a every day food ! It is not much better then white or brown sugar!!! I do not recommend it !!! 0 % complex carbohydrates 96 % simple sugars, fructose, glucose, and sucrose Granulated Cane Juice is made from organically grown sugar cane juice that has been filtered and dehydrated. Its a simple sugar that tastes much like brown or turbinado sugar; however, its less refined and contains more vitamins and minerals. Granulated cane juice can be used as a substitute for both white and brown sugar, but it is still rich in sucrose. It is not much better then white or brown sugar!!! I do not recommend it !!! 0 % complex carbohydrates 96 % sucrose Molasses is a byproduct of the refined white, brown, and turbinado sugars. Sweet molasses or light molasses is the liquid left after the first extraction of sugar crystals. Blackstrap molasses is the liquid left after the last extraction of sugar crystals, and has a stronger, bittersweet flavor and is richer in potassium, calcium, iron, and Bvitamins than sweet molasses. Though molasses is better than white sugar, it still contain a lot of it, so I can not recommend eating molasses. It is not much better then white or brown sugar!!! I do not recommend it !!! 0 % complex carbohydrates 96 % sucrose _____________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
