Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Here is a site that might help... at any rate it is better than the stuff you get from the store. http://www.organicsugar.com/Caroline <ladyguinevere@...> wrote: No...not bleached...but still has to have been processed in some way...just not sure if this is an acceptable replacement sweetener.CarolineAt 03:00 PM 2/14/2005, you wrote: well it shouldn't be bleached if it's organicCCaroline <ladyguinevere@...> wrote: Hi guys, My health food store has organic sugar for sale.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I try to use sucanat (sugar cane naturally) which is extracted from the sugar cane, and then the juice is evaporated, removing only the water and preserving the molasses. It's grown organically with no preservatives or additives. Brown sugar is white sugar with a bit of molasses for texture and color. > > > Hi guys, > > > My health food store has organic sugar for sale.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 We use evaporated sugar cane syrup too. It is very sweet, and seems to have little or none of the negative effects that sugars and their substitutes have. So far as I know, anyway. Peace Sacrifice is not for reward.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 What's the difference? 1 tsp of sugar (non organic) also has 3.9 g sugar and 15 calories Staci Stone, RD CDN __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I agree.. sugar no matter if its "all natural" "organic" honey or brown- they still have carbohydrates, and calories. I discourage any use of organic jellies and jams as well -sharon zarabi RD, CDN, CPT Re: Organic sugar Organic products are a description as to how the food was grown. sugar is sugar is sugar whether it's organic, non-gmo, conventional, etc. I get the same questions regarding honey. Because there is an idea that honey, organic sugars or raw sugars or even organic jams are "natural" that they are better for you. As we know too much sugar typically leads to dumping and all of the foods listed are sugars. > > Do any of your patients use organic sugar? I had a pt ask me about > it.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Boy is this an old question! The answers are appropriate and haven't changed in all of these years. There are a few more nutrients, but nothing to significantly make any impact on the health of individuals pro or con.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. Like I said, I'm still new to dietetics and I've only been working w/ WLS since mid-August. I had never had this question before and just wanted to make sure I was telling my pts the right thing. > > > > Do any of your patients use organic sugar? I had a pt ask me about > > it.
