Halloween party By Herbmama Both evaporated cane juice and white cane sugar have been heavily processed to remove the molasses content. During this processing the vitamins, minerals, fi ber, amino acids, and trace elements that make molasses nu- tritious have been stripped away, leaving one of the pur- est chemicals ever manufactured. Only tiny amounts of vitamin A and calcium remain in evaporated cane juice. Following processing, evaporated cane juice is 99.5 per- cent sucrose, and white sugar is 99.9 percent sucrose. Turbinado sugar, considered the least processed of any of the forms of sugar, is 99 percent sucrose. Whether sugar is eaten in the form of white sugar, evaporated cane juice, turbinado, or any of the other names for it, its effect on the body is the same. When eaten in large amounts, or eaten without fat or pro- tein, each of them will produce the same sort of in- sulin spike, weight gain, immune system suppression and increased chance for diabetes. The terms raw sugar and natural sugar are more words used by the manufacturers of today, but the terms are misnomers. True raw sugar is processed from sugar cane at a sugar mill and then shipped to a refi nery for processing. In this stage, it is about 98% sucrose. Truly raw sugar that has not been processed is unfi t for consumption and is not sold. The FDA notes that raw sugar is "unfi t for direct use as food or as a food ingredient because of the impurities it ordinar- ily contains." These impurities include plant residues, bacteria, mold, and dirt. They make up the 1 percent difference between true raw sugar and turbinado. All sugar is processed from the sugar cane or sug- ar beet plant (which is a GMO), and the two types of plants are used interchangeably. Both have the same results on our bodies. Molasses comes from the 3rd process step of sugar cane. High quality brown sugar is made by cutting short the refi nement process and leaving a bit of molasses in the sugar for taste and col- or. Lower quality brown sugar sold in conventional grocery stores is usually made from processed white sugar with the addition of caramel for coloring. Some brown sugar is even made by processing white sugar through animal bone charcoal to add color. Here is a list to get you started in identifying sugars. Probably by the time you're done reading it, they'll have invented more. Brown sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, galac- tose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, honey (not the raw), invert sugar, lactose, malt, maltodextrin, malt- ose, maple syrup, molasses, barbados sugar, panocha, confectioner's sugar, rice syrup, sucros, sugar (granu- lated) & turbinado.
