Try rapudura.

( http://www.rapunzel.com/products/rap..._rapadura.html ).

This is the most complete sugar product that you can get besides that you might get from chewing a sugar cane stalk.

You can read Rebecca Wood's description of Rapudura in her "THE NEW WHOLE FOODS ENCYCLOPEDIA: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating"
( http://www.rwood.com/books.htm ) or a lighter blurb in her question and answers section:
( http://www.rwood.com/Questions/q_may_01_2001.htm ).

Just remember that when one eats refined and fast metabolizing sugars like white sugar and honey, that a number of things happen in one's body including a very increased blood sugar spike followed by a decreased blood sugar level inducing a craving for more sweets, and in the case of refined sugar, the body searches for it's own stored minerals to replace the ones that it's giving up to properly metabolize the mineral deficient white sugar.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, very much.
