It may be true that there is NO scientific or medical evidence to
support definite criticism of refined cane sugar.  Yet it is difficult
to deny the anecdotal evidence of many ex sugar addicts who claim to
have had a remarkable changes once they discontinued eating any of this
food/substance.  It may be that some people have a strong sensitivity to
highly refined carbohydrates (certainly many parents have observed
this with their children of various ages) and that this is a personal
issue not subject to empirical verification in control groups.  In any
case, those people who choose to avoid eating refined sugars should
respect others who have no such predilection.  And vice versa.
