RISKY REFINED SUGAR

Excess of anything is dangerous. Indian preparations usually have sugar as a main ingredient for making delicious dishes. The sugar we use in daily life is refined. Bone char is often used in the sugar refining industry for decolorizing (brown to crystal white). Bone char is made by heating the bones of animals at very high temperatures. Refined sugar is a poison because it has been depleted of its life forces, vitamins and minerals. What is left consists of pure, refined carbohydrates. The body cannot utilize this refined starch and carbohydrate unless the depleted proteins, vitamins and minerals are present. Nature supplies these elements in each plant in quantities sufficient to metabolize the carbohydrate in that particular plant. There is no excess for other added carbohydrates. Incomplete carbohydrate metabolism results in the formation of 'toxic metabolite' such as pyruvic acid and abnormal sugars containing five carbon atoms. Refined sugar is lethal when ingested by humans because it provides only that which nutritionists describe as "empty" or "naked" calories. It lacks the natural minerals which are present in the sugar beet or cane.
