Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 For my two cents worth. If you do eat white refined sugar then something to think about it that many sugars are processed using charred animal bones. Oh, and another interesting item ... there are some drinks, candies that use a food coloring (orange and red) that is derived from an insect related to the cockroach from Mexico and South America. Hope that doesn't ruin anyone's lunch. And one last thing ... although I do like Maple syrup something about drinking pine rosin (found in many drinks including Fruitworks) just is about as exciting as to know that for years I was using ground glass to brush my teeth! Not to mention the warning on toothpaste not to swallow it or seek poisoning counsel. Sorry, that's a totally different subject.

Just something about that doesn't sound to tasty to me. As far as the sugar... I was merely pointing out it's process, not condemning the plant. The more natural the better for me.

Thought maybe I'd not made it clear as to what I was talking about. I do, at times, not write what I mean to say. I make typos on a regular basis too!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Sorry, I was meaning to tease a bit - we all have our sticking points and if pine rosin is yours, then who am I to say that it shouldn't be, even as a joke. Really sorry :=( I find I have a small bottle of Pure Maple Syrup at the back of the fridge and it simply says that, Pure Maple Syrup. I agree that Pine whatchamacallit sounds like something to polish the floor :=O best, pat > One the bottle of Friutworks it states Pine Rosin.

For people interested it's called cochenial and the additive number is 120. In the US bone char is used on roughly a quarter of all refined sugar (there are brands that are bone char free though), in Australia we have been bone char free for over 10 years. btw are there any other Australians on this list, is there any point in me mentioning Australian products? > Hope that doesn't ruin anyone's lunch.

That sounds a bit like sodium laurale sulfate/sulfide in shampoo (it's also used as a industral cleaner).
