What is Un-Refined Cane Juice Powder?

How is it different from "Evaporated Cane Juice"?

Evaporated cane juice is just another expression for refined  sugar. Unless your label clearly states: Unrefined sugar or Unrefined  evaporated cane juice, it is the same as refined sugar. Back 2 Organic is a 100% raw, un-refined, minimally processed, pure evaporated sugarcane juice.

When natural sugar is refined and concentrated , the life force  is dispersed and the natural balance upset. The multiple filterings and  boiling extractions, not only removes the color and molasses, but also  removes nearly all valuable nutrients. What's left are two primary  components of the original natural sugar cane; the crystalline sucrose  and glucose, with only trace amounts of other nutrients.

Refined sugar passes quickly into the bloodstream in large  amounts, giving the stomach and pancreas a shock. An acid condition  forms which consumes the body's minerals quickly.

Calcium is lost from the system, causing bone problems. The  digestive system is weakened and food cannot be digested or assimilated  properly. This leads to blood sugar imbalance and to further craving for  sugar.

Refined sugar delivers high energy and enables one to keep  working, but unfortunately, it is addicting and contributes greatly to  disease and unhappiness. Too much refined sugar can lead to diabetes,  which will lead to heart disease, renal disease, peripheral vascular  disease, diabetic retinitis (blindness), diabetic peripheral neuropathy  and the list goes on and on.

Unrefined sugar or unrefined cane juice powder, like Back 2 Organic; this is a healthy alternative to refined sugar.

This type of sugar, although almost as sweet as it's cousin -  refined sugar - the un-refined sugar has a full array of other subtle  flavors, like any whole food. It is not to be confused with brown sugar  or variour kinds of raw sugar; it has far more mineralization and other  nutrients to help prevent tooth decay and the plethora of dieseases  brought on by all refined sugar.

Unrefined sugar contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, B2,  B3, Calcium, Phosphorus and Chromium. None of theses nutrients occur in  refined sugar. Unrefined sugar also offeres more than twenty times as  much iron and zinc as white sugar.

Several food producers are acutely aware of the advertising  advantage, to NOT list "sugar" as a label ingredient. Now, they still  put in refined sugar, but list it as "dried cane juice", "evaporated  cane juice" or "cane juice". However, when dried cane juice is highly  refined, it is simply another name for refined white sugar. Some  manufacturers simply add back some molasses for color and promote the  product as a healthful product.  Don't be fooled!
