some hormones become underactive and others become overactive Sugar can lead to the formation of kidney stones Sugar can lead to the hypothalamus to become highly sensitive to a large variety of stimuli Sugar can lead to dizziness Diets high in sugar can cause free radicals and oxidative stress High sucrose diets of subjects with peripheral vascular disease significantly increases platelet adhesion High sugar diet can lead to biliary tract cancer Sugar feeds cancer High sugar consumption of pregnant adolescents is associated with a twofold increased risk for delivering a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant High sugar consumption can lead to substantial decrease in gestation duration among adolescents Sugar slows food's travel time through the gastrointestinal tract Sugar increases the concentration of bile acids in stools and bacterial enzymes in the colon Sugar increases estradiol (the most potent form of naturally occurring estrogen) in men Sugar combines and destroys phosphatase, an enzyme, which makes the process of digestion more dificult Sugar can be a risk factor of gallbladder cancer Sugar is an addictive substance Sugar can be intoxicating, similar to alcohol Sugar can exacerbate PMS Sugar given to premature babies can affect the amount of carbon dioxide they produce Decrease in sugar intake can increase emotional stability The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch The rapid absorption of sugar promotes excessive food intake in obese subjects Sugar can worsen the symptoms of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Sugar adversely affects urinary electrolyte composition Sugar can slow down the ability of the adrenal glands to function Sugar has the potential of inducing abnormal metabolic processes in a normal healthy individual and to promote chronic degenerative diseases I.Vs (intravenous feedings) of sugar water can cut off oxygen to the brain High sucrose intake could be an important risk factor in lung cancer Sugar increases the risk of polio High sugar intake can cause epileptic seizures Sugar causes high blood pressure in obese people In Intensive Care Units: Limiting sugar saves lives Sugar may induce cell death Sugar may impair the physiological homeostasis of many systems in living organisms In juvenile rehabilitation camps, when children were put on a low sugar diet, there was a 44% drop in antisocial behavior Sugar can cause gastric cancer Sugar dehydrates newborns Sugar can cause gum disease Sugar increases the estradiol in young men Sugar can cause low birth weight babies [taken from "mercola.com/article/sugar/dangers_of_sugar.htm"] ` allie

i think it is all sugar - but i'm not 100% certain. although you do need some sugar in your diet, so i imagine some is ok, but not the amounts that most of us eat.
and yes bleached foods, like white bread and white rice and white potoatoes are really bad for you!! [eating a whole spoon of sugar is "better" for you then eating one whole white potatoe]

Funny,,, most foods you eat turn in to sugar in the stomach/mouth. For example you eat corn flakes,,, it turns in to sugar IN YOUR MOUTH!!!, potato almost has the same glycemic rating a raw sugar. Should I even go on with this… sugar is not bad for you,,, but the rate your blood sugar raise is is.
BTW mugsy,,, brown suger is just white suger with some of the sludge form the process put back in.

^ bleached sugar? bleached salt? Sorry, there's no such thing. Pure Salt is just white on it own, the only other way you can get it is sea or kosher, they tend to be a bit off white and that only because other minerals in it.
Now there is raw sugar it's light brown, and the funny thing is it's not less processed then white sugar. It's just processed different. All brown, amber, or other sugars are just white sugar with the slurry dump back in. Sugar whether brown, raw, liquid, white, any simple starch(basically sugar to the body but does not tasted sweet to the mouth), has the same effects on the body. Quote:
