    I do quite a few unnatural things on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure that cane sugar and maple syrup come from nature though. Not sure what I win here.

    It is unnatural since it is invented.

    Honey - invented and manufactured by bees.

    Agave nectar - very high in fructose also, oh noes!.

    Can I place this on ice cream?!?:flowerforyou:

    Yep, the toxinz in the ice-cream counteract the toxinz in the agave!

    so its negative calories?

    More like negatve toxinz

    i guess "un natural sugar" would be artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and the other "0 calorie" artificial sweeteners.

    and while im aware that it's not technically "sugar," im sure people can agree that it's widely used in place of sugar -- diet sodas, etc...

    Some would call that supernatural.

    Added sugar. Comes in various names, including everything ending in "ose". Ex. fructose.

    If fructose isn't natural sugar, I can't imagine what is.

    If you could either name a process, a sugar that's processed, or anything specific that would help me understand what you're talking about.

    Please splain :-)

    Sugars are simple carbohydrates, starches are complex cabohydrates.

    Simple refers to having 1 or 2 (only) saccharide molecule groups, whereas starch has a long chain of glucose molecules like a polymer. The presence of fiber, or the colour brown, is not part of the definition.

    Fructose is added to fruit? I could have sworn it comes pre-installed. :embarassed:

    Except if bees do the processing (I imagine).
