How can refined sugar be a horror show when 99% of honey, maple syrup, mollasses, and sorghum is sugar?
Discussion
not all "sugar" is the same. honey/molasses have nutrients that help metabolize fructose/glucose alongside; HFCS doesn't.
Yes, but is their 1% of unique nutrients enough to offset their 99% sugar?
If sugar is so bad, then why not refine our the 1% of unique nutrients, eliminating the sugar?
Because 150g per day of them would kill you.
Conversely, why bother with nutritious sweeteners at all when we can have industrial 100% pure sugar all the time?
In the same way that there are different types of money, with different properties, there are different types of sugar
The closer to a natural ingredient you get the better. Eg honey or maple
White sugar, or refined sugar, or whatever processed sugar you might find, has a significant adverse impact on your health vs a natural sugar
Okay, what about evaporated cane sugar?
Is that "processed" any more than maple syrup?
