Don't you like buzzwords like natual, and refined.  How about the natural
substance honey.  It is about the most highly refined source of glucose
that one can find.  But I guess one would say that it was naturally
refined, meaning that it can contain more insect parts and excretions.
Personally, I have to avoid glucose and sucrose (sweets not sweats as I refered
to them in a previous posting) to avoid being diabetic.  Fructose, and
sorbitol are no problem.
