Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Why is modern sugar stripped of all its nutritious elements?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Why is modern sugar stripped of all its nutritious elements?),it will help you,my kids.
Answer:
When in doubt, follow the money. There's big money in sugar. Actually, the entire mass-marketed food industry is all about making money, Product integrity and consumer health be damned.
White, processed sugar is terrible for you. Find out why you get a 'sugar buzz', and that extra little 'rush' of energy when you eat a candy bar. This stuff hits your system like a freight train, and is just as damaging.
Organic sugar, or Organic Cane Juice freeze dried, is absorbed slowly as it's a Whole Food. It contains, on average:
Iron:3.6mg
Sodium:2.4mg
Magnesium:47mg
Calcium:115mg
Potassium: 490 mg
Phosphorus: 12.5mg
Vitamin C:305mg
Niacin: 324mg
There are No additives, No preservatives...NO chemicals. Growing anything Organic takes more time, requires more care from the growers. They do not use pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals during the growing process. I pay $3.09 for 2 pounds of Organic Cane Sugar.
The large companies produce refined sugar in mega tons daily, it's cheap and their profits are high. 5 pounds for 99 cents to $1.50 or so. But, it's killing you. They don't care, it's all about the money.
I wish every American would educate themselves about the condition of the food being served to them by the Corporate Food Mass Merchandisers. You would be shocked to the core. There are many sites available to people who want to know the truth. I'll list only a few.
the product we call sugar is made from the sugar beet. this vegetable can be grown in northern Canada.and processed where it is grown.the cost of cane sugar is still higher than beet sugar.
What nutritious elements?
Brown molasses, which I think you are refering to, has no nutritionous elements above and beyond white sugar apart from trace quantaties of some metals such as manganese.
There are no vitamins apart from very small quantities of B6.
Any health benefits are grossly over rated.
Refined sugar is easier to transport and has an extremely long shelf life for almost no loss in nutritional benefit.
The only reason I have brown refined sugar is that the final stage to white can involve chemical bleaching which can leave minute quantaties of chemicals, which as someone with extreme health problems I am sensitive to (I also prefer the taste). There are no nutritional benefits in this choice.
the same reason that flour, salt, and other bleached products are-mass marketing. I dont get why natural products have to be bleached, stripped of nutritional value, then have them added back in synthetically. White sugar is filtered through "char" which is crushed slaughtered animal bones, then "refined" with synthetic garbage. I use pure, raw cane sugar that is unprocessed. Table salt is the same way-I use sea salt instead. White flour is stripped of all of it whole wheat goodness, then "fortified" or "enriched" with vitamins derived from dead animals-totally senseless. What makes me mad, is that if you want to avoid stuff like that, you have to pay triple what the adulterated garbage costs!
