Is There Any Difference Between Plain Sugar And Organic?

[Barry]

On Amazon, I can buy 10lbs of Domino Sugar for $0.07/oz. Florida Crystals organic is $0.21/oz. Considering how much sugar I consume, I think I would rather go with the one that is 1/3 the price, if there is no significant difference.

Pesticides? Idk how much they spray on non-organic cane plants

 

[Zoiros]

Glyphosate is what you get with the cheap stuff.

 

[Rafael Lao Wai]

Doesn't the refinement of sugar remove the pesticides?

 

[Steven Bussinger]

If someone had some data on whether the refining process removes glyphosate and other chemical applications, that would be great. I've considered doing a glyphosate blood test before and after a month of using GMO sugar, but I already have some other tests I want to run. I wanted to test the GW/Western Sugar brand, which is a beet sugar produced with GMO practices.

Organic sugar generally is less refined, so it will be a little darker due to more minerals present.

You can get non-organic sugar that is non-GMO, even at basic grocery stores. C&H is one such brand.

my 2 cents coming from living in a cane sugar growing area: glyphosate is rampant and people are getting cancer in farming communities from it. that said, I can't find organic white sugar here probably because most people are too fooled into using panela, tauting its 14 minerals, the less processed form of brown sugar which is sold as organic. If you saw the primitive and filthy conditions that the local cane sugar was processed under, you would probably choose the non organic white sugar too. if your redox is good, toxins should just leave your cells although glyphosate does disrupt the gut microbiome. btw, Peat likes organic beet sugar due to where its grown under low deuterium soil.

I know Peat talked about beet sugar, but did he say he uses organic? Virtually all of beets grown in the USA are GMO.

His stance on GMO beets is that it only affects the protein and not the carbs. I can't reiterate but I'm fairly sure that he spoke about it in a Dec interview. One Radio Network maybe

I’m not doubting him, but how does he even know that lol. Peat knows the most random things

You can check out NOW Foods for the beet sugar and see if you can get a straight answer from them.

Glyphosate is a derivative of glycine. Seneff postulates that it replaces glycine in the body, leading to disease. Others say that it's metabolite glyoxylate interferes with cysteine.

Here is a fun back and forth between Seneff and one of her critics - Glyphosate is Not Incorporated into The Proteins that Structure our Bodies - New Study - Sustainable Pulse

When you read broadly and deeply as he has done for decades, and self experiment, you begin to intuit many things. Or maybe he does have a study he can cite.

Not much of a back and forth. Seneff wrote one comment and never replied, that was back in Sept 2019. Probably because she realized she just had some conjecture, and the study author had actual data. Maybe the study was done incorrectly, but it appears Seneff can't explain it away.

which soil is low deuterium is that all organic soil? interesting stuff...
a lot of products like mexican coke or haagen dazs ice cream... Peat and others like but they're apparently a big risk, due to just the sugar itself? the sugar also lacks the b vitamins and other nutrients of fruits, but even then its a problem?
how much glyphosate do starch products have, like donuts made with enriched flour for example? similar glyphosate to sugar...?

 

[danishstargazer]

I like Zulka sugar but have no idea if it is sprayed.

 

[Dr. B]

The Amish farm websites list several different types of sugar, not sure if they're any different or better. one was turbinado sugar, also rapudo sugar or something...
