Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't know if turbinado sugar is still made the same, and years ago, when they first came out with it, turned out to be the same are 'dark brown sugar' and 'light brown sugar'; i.e. white sugar sprayed with molasses, and less molasses at that! And this despite the marketing that it was 'healthy' sugar. Francine epiousian = the expression of agape quite a bit more than enough **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Turbinado looks and tastes like brown sugar, but is actually crystallized cane juice, and contains the original molasses and nutrients of the cane. You can find info about it online. Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses mixed back in, sort of like white flour with vitamins added back in - not the same thing as whole flour. Turbinado is a natural product. One must also remember that not all products are the same, and many natural products are maligned by the un-natural food industry trying to cover its open wounds. You can read all about organic food being unsafe and more harmful than commercial foods too - doesn't make it so. ;-) P. sunrose101@... wrote: > > I don't know if turbinado sugar is still made the same, and years ago, > when > they first came out with it, turned out to be the same are 'dark brown > sugar' > and 'light brown sugar'; i.e. white sugar sprayed with molasses, and less > molasses at that!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 We used it a lot when it first came out (this has to be at least 35 years ago!) until finding that out about it. It was touted as being much less refined. Haven't thought of it since we stopped using it. It may be fine now. I know how organic gets maligned! And that line: How do you KNOW it's really organic? That's another one. I also know though that there are so many things the fda allows companies to get away with -- and so many awful products in the health food stores -- that research is necessary. Years ago there was a yummy goat-honey ice cream that we loved (this is before being vegan), and it came to me to write the company as to whether that meant no refined sugar and no cows' milk. Never got an answer, so we stopped using it. An example is that the fda allows a label to read: no sugar added. Now this appears to mean that no white sugar has been thrown into the product. What it really means is that one of the ingredients already has white sugar in it, so that 'doesn't count'! It's like all the names msg hides behind, like 'natural flavor(s)' for one example. And I was just reading that if a product doesn't say non-gmo, it has one or more ingredients that are gmo, and that is appearing to be worse and worse for us all, as time goes on. Let me see if I can find the article on it. Starts to make being breatharian (like Therese Neumann) look good!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Francine Labels and ingredients are purposefully misleading and we have a lot of trouble trying to find suitable foods for the family. I think that labels like natural ingredients, natural flavours or vegetable oil very frustrating as they may contain any number of nasties which does'nt have to be specified and is just another example of how the media tells us to eat healthy and excersise and then promote the eating of poisons in our society.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 If it says no sugar, it means just what you said. A product that says sugar has to be highly refined. Sugar is the word for highly refined sweetener according to the FDA. The only product we use that says sugar, is powdered sugar. We use it maybe four times a year for frostings. I still haven't found a good sub for that. P sunrose101@... wrote: > > We used it a lot when it first came out (this has to be at least 35 years > ago!) until finding that out about it.
