Sugar itself has trace minerals and nutrients present and this is unrefined, just like if you sucked on the juice from a sugar cane plant. Refined means that the natural minerals and nutrients are stripped away, just like with rice. Refined rice is white and the brown unrefined rice has more nutrients. So you are getting empty calories, but it's worse than that. It removes healthy minerals and nutrients from the body to help with digesting it. This is why there are studies that drinking sodas and diet sodas increase the chance of osteoporosis. By the way artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup are refined sugar. It begins to get stored in the liver as glucose and when that gets full it goes to the blood in the form of fatty acids. Next it goes to area like the stomach, butt, and thighs to get stored. They can even go to the heart and kidneys, which weaken those organs. In a study published in the Journal of American Medical Association people who ate the largest amounts of sugar had the highest blood triglyceride levels and the lowest HDL (the good) cholesterol levels. There is also a connection between sugar and cancer. Sugar is highly acidic and cancer grows quicker in acidic environments. Plus it weakens the immune system, In conclusion stay away from refined sugars. To get more ideas on staying healthy naturally click on the link below. http://utahtexans.com/
