    Sugar is sugar is sugar. It has the nutrient content like you said, it is the same on the glycemic index. Some health food enthusiasts think that non-bleached sugar is better for you. Thats the only difference.

    it was 5 times the price of regular sugar. I think we need to make some organic goodness and get rich off of it.

    Yeah theres lots of recovery drinks that are premixed, just costs quite a bit more than mixing your own. I haven't tried many cause they usually have Dextrose which makes me sick (diabetic) but I can handle Maltodextrin which is what I use PWO. I sometimes have the Mass Recovery by ABB which tastes good, but there are lots of other ones out there.

    natural cane sugar is usually darker and it is a little more robust in taste but it is still sugar that has been refined
