one of my issues with it is i think the we have corn in everything. and i'd rather eat pure cane sugar than something that processed. -- nm - Andie Sep 3, 13:46 19
- Same for me. Way too much corn in our diets and I do my bets to limit it where I can. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 13:50 1
  - *best not bets* -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 13:50
- I wish the pure-sugar version was more readily available (even at increased cost) as an optional alternative for those who want it. - ty97 Sep 3, 13:49 16
  - so does will i. am -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 13:54
  - there are more products now than there used to be, it's trendy even. - b. Sep 3, 13:52
  - i believe (i could be wrong) that Americans get a lot of their sugar from sugar beets, and i think we get most from sugar cane. is that true, do you - Andie Sep 3, 13:50 13
    - Rogers sugar is sugar beets. - Reagen Sep 3, 14:04 3
      - Redpath is a sugar plant here in Toronto, i just googled, they use sugar cane: -- (link) - Andie Sep 3, 14:07 2
        
        functionally they'd be the same. Sucrose is sucrose. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 14:18 1
        
        not in baking/cooking. I had noticed it myself one holiday season, when I tried a store brand instead of c&h cane. subsequently, I read a story - b. Sep 3, 14:23
    - a lot of it here is from beets. "pure cane sugar" is a selling point for a bunch of products. - b. Sep 3, 13:57 5
      - Unless I'm mistaken, cane sugar is the only sugar I ever see in the sugar section of the market -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 14:00 4
        
        you're mistaken. - b. Sep 3, 14:04 2
        
        No kiddin'? Learn something new every day. -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 14:05 1
        
        and *then* there's the fact that some of it is processed through animal bones, but that's a whole 'nuther sticky wicket. -- nm - kare Sep 3, 14:11
        
        What about the sugar that just says "sugar", instead of "cane sugar"? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 14:01
    - I believe sugar is more expensive for USA because we embargo Cuba. -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:52 2
      - ah, well, drink your processed corn then! :) -- nm - Andie Sep 3, 13:53 1
        
        Pretty much :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 13:56
