Bone Char, Other Contaminants

[Such_Saturation]

Is white sugar still bleached with bone char, clay, acid, etc. ? Does anyone know about the process or know which brands do what?

This is the extent of my knowledge about it:

The bleaching is essentially washing, washing the molasses residue away from brown sugar, and I think charcoal is used to absorb the last traces of impurities. The products vary in the thoroughness of the washing, some have a faint yellow color and weak molasses taste; the whitest is least likely to be allergenic.

Organic sugar costs 10 times normal sugar... kind of worries me... perhaps Toxinless can be the ConsumerLab of food
