What are the amounts of vitamins and minerals in raw sugar that are not in refined sugar with equivalent sucrose content?
Bighug
Processed Refined White Sugar (whether made from Sugar Cane or Sugar Beets) is harmful to the human body. Raw Sugar has zero Vitamins and zero minerals after it is processed and refined. When ingested, the Vitamins and MInerals necessary to break it down are taken from th eclosest source fopr these nutients...the human body. I highly recommend two books that will open your eyes to the truth about Sugar. Before I read these two publications, I thought Sugar was my friend. *The China Study* $24.99 [tax not incl.] *Sugar Blues* (by Wiliam Dufty) $6.99 [tax not incl] The China Study can be obtained from a Library, as a check out. You could read it and not be out any money...unless you made the mistake of not returning it to the Library by its *Due* date. So, if you decide to read it, I can almost guarantee, that you will not feel the same way about sugar, or the Sugar Industry, Medical Community, or the Mental Health Community. Each oif those businesses, profits from the sale of Sugar. If you don't belive me, take my challenge and read the books I have named, above. What do you have to lose? If I am full of it, then I will admit it. But in order for me to admit to being wrong, I require proof from you that what I'm saying is not true. So, the best way I can think of to do that, is for you to read the book. And if after you have done that, you still thgnk I'm full of crap. I will admit I was wrong. I hop ethatis an ameable solution. Let me know. I will discuss a compromise. If necessary. I want no hassles form offering a bit of my knowledge that is not widely beleived. But it is also not widely publicized. So the Industries that depend on Sugar for their livelyhood, do not like it when somebody gets to close to their wallets. Knowledge *is* Power. What a person knows has been known to get him/her killed...ooops. sorry, come up missing! :) Thanks for reading this. Alkai.
