Some vegetarians--generally strict vegans--will not consume

sugar. This is because sugar is usually whitened with bone

char from cows.

If you are a vegetarian and you want to continue eating

products that contain sugar, but do not want to cause

suffering in the procedure, you have a number of possibilities.

Your first option is to only consume products created with

beet sugar. There are two main sources of sugar in the

United States: beet sugar and cane sugar. Cane sugar is

typically whitened with bone char from cows in contrast, beet

sugar is by no means whitened with bone char.

So, if you want to completely stay away from the bone char, you can

do so by consuming only beet sugar. The only challenge--and it

is a huge 1--is obtaining out which foods include beet sugar

and which foods contain cane sugar.

To make factors far more complicated, you can also consume a quantity

of types of cane sugar, as lengthy as you are prepared to discover

out what the supply of the sugar is.

You can do this in a lot of circumstances by looking at the

nutritional panel on food ahead of you acquire it. If it says

fructose or dextrose, the sugar is from a plant source

(either beet or corn). If it says sucrose, it could be from

a number of sources, which could incorporate bone char-whitened

cane sugar.

Now, if you are cooking with sugar, you can personally

verify that is bone-char free by acquiring from the

following firms, which have publicly-stated that they

do not use bone-char: Florida Crystals Refinery, Imperial

Sugar Business, Irish Sugar Ltd., Sugar In the Raw (which is

also much less-refined), and American Crystal Sugar Firm.

If you cant locate these brands, but want to steer clear of consuming

bone-char sugar if feasible, you can keep away from these brands,

which have publicly-stated that they do use bone-char:

Domino, Savannah Foods, and C&H Sugar Company. close remove frame
