Refined sugar, like refined flour, is a product of our civilisation, an unnatural ‘food’ and a contributory factor to ill health. We should keep away from anything that is detrimental to our health and reduces the nutritional value of our food. It is therefore obvious that denatured, refined foods are to be rejected. Unrefined cane sugar, on the other hand, contains various minerals, which are alkaline-forming and, at least, make some contribution to our health. Moreover, the allegation that it is treated with sulphur is untrue.
The best sugar is, and always will be, that found in nature, that is, in fruits, either fresh or dried. Raisins, sultanas, dates and figs are ideal sources of natural sugar. Since it does not need to be digested, it is the best and quickest source of energy. In fact, it is completely wrong to believe that protein foods are the only energy source. And why? Just think of a bull and its tremendous power, yet it does not eat any kind of protein food at all.
