Hi Susie
Unrefined or Raw cane sugar still has nutrients and minerals in it so it is better than refined sugar as the refining process removes these nutrients and minerals.
However I have given up all forms of refined and unrefined sugars and it has shown a significant drop in my paraprotein levels. I still eat fruit and also honey, both of which contain sugar – but in a slightly different form so I still consume glucose / fructose by eating fruit nd honey. There is so much written about sugar and of course so many things contain sugar (wine, bread, most processed food, ready-meals etc etc etc) so it isn’t always easy to work out what’s what but I have given up all the obvious sources of refined sugar (sweets and candy, chocolate, cakes, cereal with sugar and I never put refined or unrefined sugar in anything I eat). I guess this will have cut down my overall intake of glucose / fructose quite significantly.
