Sugar:

[Guest guest]

My friend had an interesting question. Is raw cane

sugar really better for you than refined white sugar?

Is the differance significant. I have also been

wondering for a while now how Stevia works. It's not

sugar so what exactly is in it and what does it do

to your body?? No one I've asked so far knows...

Does anyone here have any info?

Cane sugar is from the juice of the sugar cane and

then dried. The refined sugar is treated with ACIDS

that is why it is not good for the body. The more

refined, the more acid ... so you can imagine the

white sugar's content of acid.

 

I use stevia, the powderized leaves - the green

stevia, and all i need is just a tiny pinch to sweeten

food. Stevia helps regulate blood sugar too. I just

love it. Aftertaste comes when you use too much. Once

in a while i used the liquid for cooking. I don't use

the white powder because it has a stabilizer.

Hello Dave;

The less any food is processed, the less harmful it is . Sugar is refined

and higly processed which is one reason that anything not processed such as

honey for example, is better then sugar. Unprocessed honey has many nutrients

it it - sugar has none. Here are some urls about sugar. The url for Weston

Price is also below - you can do search there.

Steveia is a natural sweetener - it is actually a plant and some

people do grow it. It is safe even for diabetics.

sugar. White flour breaks down into sugar too.

Replacing Refined Sugars with Natural Sugars One Step At a Time

Sugar has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. Not only does it

totally lack nutrients, but when you eat sugar it actually robs your body of

nutrients-- vitamins, minerals and even enzymes. Sure sugar may be temporarily

pleasing to the taste buds, but the rest of the body suffers for it. The sad

thing is that most people are not aware of the devastating effects that excess

sugar consumption has on the body. The cartoon illustrates a typical day for

many Americans and how the standard American diet affects our health,

especially the way we think and feel. Artificial sweeteners in use today pose

significant dangers. There are many healthy alternatives to both refined sugar

and artificial sweeteners, including maple syrup, dehydrated sugar cane juice

(sold as Sucanat and Rapadura), date sugar, raw unfiltered honey and molasses.

Consumed in moderation as part of a nutrient-dense diet that includes plenty

of good quality fats, these mineral-rich, naturally sweet foods allow us to

enjoy the sweet taste while nourishing the body at the same time. In strict

moderation, they can even be used by diabetics in conjunction with a

nutrient-dense, high-fat diet.

Now that you've eliminated the sweet sugar from your kitchen, your next step

Stevia is an excellent sweetness source that has demonstrated no harm

to diabetics. I find the liquid not as good or as tasty...

This reminds me of an incident with my brother and his wife about 8 years ago.

They both work at a sugar beet factory, and when they were visiting us they saw

my brownish organic sugar. My s-i-l exclaimed how it was clearly inferior sugar

because of its color. Why, at her job that would be sent back for more

" washing. " She couldn't understand how we could eat sugar that wasn't bright

white and CLEAN! Nevermind that what they are " washing " away are the nutrients.

They use the terminology " washing " the way dentists take " pictures. "

I would go with organic sugar. Raw sugar is usually just glorified

white sugar with a little molasses added for color.
