Organic Sugar?

[sprinter]

Is there any benefit to buying Organic Sugar? I'm wondering if there are any chemicals, pesticides, or processing that make organic better. Also is there a best type of sugar (Cane, Brown, etc)?

if its not organic, it should be white (purified) to avoid any field residues (plastic, fuel fumes) and herbicides and pesticides. If its organic, it can be whole low processed or purified white. The best thing to do is read up on the company a little, if their practices are clean, then pretty much any cane sugar is good. If not, like anything not organic, you're better off with white sugar because its basically a purified end product...so you avoid all the residues that may have been used in the fields, on the plants, or in the processing plant...which could be chemicals or pesticides

that's why molasses, though nutritious on paper, is really hard to get pure, unless you basically make it yourself or live near people who do like in remote areas, because there's almost always some kind of impure residue left in it

Thanks pboy...I can get a 10lb bag of C&H Cane Sugar at Walmart...that seems to fit the bill.
