Is Brown Sugar Bad?

Posted by Rick H. on January 13, 2001 at 01:58:55:

The only sugar I consume now is brown sugar, and I thought it was un-refined and natural, but I just found this:
____________________________________________________________
9. What is brown sugar?

Brown sugar consists of sugar crystals contained in a molasses syrup with natural flavor and color components. Many sugar refiners produce brown sugar by preparing and boiling a special syrup containing these components until brown sugar crystals form. In the final processing the crystals are spun dry in a centrifuge; some of the syrup remains giving the sugar its characteristic brown color. Other refiners produce brown sugar by blending a special molasses syrup with white sugar crystals.
____________________________________________________________

I don't understand the first process described above, so I don't know if it results in natural sugar, but I sure understand the second one, and refined white sugar sprayed with molasses is not something I want to let in my body!

Even if the first process is healthy, sugar manufacturers don't tell us anything on their packages, so how would anyone tell them apart?



you don't have to tell sugars apart...they are all bad! (unless they're still inside their source)nmi

Hi, Rick.

ALL refined carbohydrates are just as bad as white or brown sugar. The only way you will appreciate that enough is with Beth's Book. You might also go to the homepage about the Refined Carbohydrates article.
