Isn't sugar bad for you?
Incredibly, sugar in its raw form, as cane or juice from cane, is extremely beneficial to one's health, being packed with nutrients and minerals.
Only during the refining process is sugar stripped of all its nutritional value leaving only pure carbohydrate. The refining process is similar to "bleaching" in white flour and during refinement picks up unnatural chemicals such as phosphoric acid, sulphur dioxide and formic acid.
Cane juice is a natural energy drink and so an excellent alternative to harmful fizzy drinks, or artificial energy drinks. One teaspoon of raw sugar contains only 11 calories! Sugar in its unrefined form contains iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
