Refined beet sugar
-
The difference is in isotopes, not sucrose content. Though beet sugar does seem slightly less sweet.

I’ve been eating the now brand beet sugar since I wrote this last summer. Ray talked about higher elevation beet sugar verses tropical cane sugar having less heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium depleted. Deuterium depletion happening at higher elevation would allow slow mitochondria breakdown.
I can’t remember what interview this was on! Sorry! It wasn’t a generative energy I know that.
I like the beet sugar and it’s more regionally available to me so I’m going to stick with it for now.

@dapose how are you certain the beet sugar from NOW is from beets grown at high elevations? afaik beets grow anywhere
-
@sunsunsun yeah you are right, I have no idea! I was thinking about this brand I looked up that is from Colorado but then i bought Now brand. And I put it together in my mind that now brand was from Colorado farms, but it might not be. But they could be! Idk! There’s not a lot of beet agriculture left in the US I believe, but could be wrong. !
Also when I wrote high elevation I was meaning higher then sea level, and that being better in the deuterium depletion. But I didn’t mean to imply high elevation as in coffee or tea sourcing. I don’t think deuterium depletion is the reason people like high elevation coffee. I’ll try to be more mindful in my language. Peace -
NOW are pretty forthcoming and transparent about sourcing or specific things about their supplements that the label doesn't quantify when i've contacted them in the past..worth a pop
Edit: It's sourced from Austria
-
@CurmudgeonApple austria you say? hmmm…. @lykos do you know this?
-
@sunsunsun i don't say. NOW say. Apparently, it's on the packaging at the back, but they told me anyways as i couldn't find any evidence of that on Google Images. NOW beet sugar has never come from Colorado and has always been sourced from Austria as it's guaranteed non-GMO..horses mouth

@CurmudgeonApple hmmm... Austria you say you don't say..... interdasting...

@CurmudgeonApple Beets me! Ha! Thanks!
