Lapis lazuli light: Refined sugar and molasses白糖与糖蜜

Refined Sugar

Sugar is not only responsible for tooth-decay, but robs vitamin B from the body, disturbs calcium metabolism, and has a deleterious effect of the nervous system. Doctors have found that children who are allowed to have all the sweets they want become irritable and nervous. Once the sweets are removed, they are again well-behaved and poised. In the world of adults, nervousness, periodic depression, suspicion and even nervous breakdowns can be attributed to the eating of sugar. One of the most popular “myths” regarding sugar is the belief that it is an “energy food”. Actually, white sugar is not a food, but a catalyst for burning what the body already has. Its effect on the body is very much like that of alcohol.

Molasses: It is the by-product of making white sugar.

Sugar cane is actually a grass, nutritious if eaten whole. In the making of white sugar, all the nutritious parts, vitamins and minerals are concentrated in the molasses, including vanadium. Vanadium can help the breakdown of cholesterol. Those with high cholesterol can take one tablespoonful of molasses per day.

白糖真的能供给我们热能吗？

白糖不只是对牙齿不好，还掠夺体内的维他命B，破坏钙的新陈代谢，尤其是对神经系统的健康有很坏的影响。医生发现调皮捣蛋，暴躁的小孩都是甜食吃多了。只要停止这些零食，小孩子便很快的变得乖顺。大人世界中，神经紧张，情绪低落，疑心症甚至于精神病和吃糖都有直接的关系。

[白糖能供给热能]的观念是大错特错的，糖本身根本不是食物，它的唯一作用就是燃烧体内的养分，完全是一种刺激作用，和酒精的性质很接近。

用糖蜜或黄糖取代白糖

制作白糖的副产品：糖蜜

甘蔗其实是属于草类，本身营养良好，但在制成白糖的过程中，维他命，矿物质都浓缩在被去除掉的糖蜜里，特别是釩（Vanadium）,能分解胆固醇，胆固醇高的人，每天可食用一汤匙的糖蜜。
