I don't eat a lot of sugar. If only I had my own box of sugar without using those small packets without the kick in them...

I like yogurt. It's been a while since I ate some. I should continue eating more yogurt...

Good that you already have minimal sugar mister_hank. IMO you would enjoy a simple plain yogurt such as 'Greek' yogurt - just add fresh as well as dried fruit to it for some sweetness... raisins, currants, sultanas, grapes for example:smile:
 
:sideways: It's great if you can afford healthy/organic foods all the time...but then again the cost of a root canal tacks onto the bill of cheap processed foods. I'd like to grow a green thumb, lol...

WHAT DOES REFINED SUGAR REALLY DO TO THE BODY? Nancy Appleton Ph.D gives a quick overview.

Refined sugar:
suppresses the immune system
causes hyperactivity in children
kidney damage
mineral deficiencies, especially chromium, copper, calcium and magnesium
makes the blood acidic
tooth decay
advances aging
digestive disorders
arthritis
asthma
Candida albicans
decreased blood flow to the heart
causes osteoporosis
causes food allergies
causes eczema
atherosclerosis
free radical formation
loss of enzyme function
increases liver and kidney size
brittle tendons
migraines
blood clots
depression

These symptoms are just various manifestations of one main mechanism: sugar cannot be digested. Sugar inactivates digestive enzymes. It remains in the tract, fermenting. Some of the toxic mass gradually seeps into the bloodstream where it acidifies the blood. The body tries desperate measures to maintain the normal pH of the blood. The above symptom list shows the end-results of those efforts, the signs of their failure, or else the degeneration of a tissue that has become the final resting place for fermenting debris in an overloaded system. http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/sugar/sugar-the-sweet-thief-of-life/ :smile:

Sometimes brown sugar — particularly when referred to as “raw sugar” — is merely sugar that has not been fully refined. But usually manufacturers prefer to reintroduce molasses to fine white sugar — creating a mixture with about 5 to 10 percent molasses — the two varieties of sugar are similar nutritionally and according to the United States Department of Agriculture, brown sugar contains about 17 kilocalories per teaspoon, compared with 16 kilocalories per teaspoon for white sugar.

Because of its molasses content, brown sugar does contain certain minerals, most notably calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium (white sugar contains none of these). But since these minerals are present in only minuscule amounts, there is no real health benefit to using brown sugar.
