Yes. Sugar cane is natural. Sugar beets are natural, but not the resulting processed sugar. In much the same way, poppies are natural and morphene isn't. The actual sugar cane or beet has been approximately 95% eliminated from the resulting granulated sugar. Maybe you need to find out what they do to the stuff in between the farmers' harvest and the time you put it in your mouth. Do you realize that about 4 pounds of sugar beets go into making about 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar? Would you want to eat 4 pounds of sugar beets with your coffee in the morning? Oh, well, I really shouldn't go on--this isn't net.flame after all.
