I wish we did not have to do it, but we do have yellow as an option and it is used regularly. No one has ever asked for another color.
I have done some research on artificial sweetener studies. Ignoring the "do artificial sweeteners contribute to obesity/metabolic disorder," splenda seems to be the least of the evils. People cling to stevia/agave for some reason, but they are no better than the others, per testing.I wish we did not have to do it, but we do have yellow as an option and it is used regularly.

so you'll be offering honey and yellow when you open for business?I have done some research on artificial sweetener studies.

Yes sugar is nice, but the known damaging effects are considerably worse than the known effects of splenda. Sugar is known to cause tooth issues, are empty calories, and contribute to a range of health issues including diabetes.
If someone had to pick something over artificials, I would say honey. Of course, vegans will avoid honey as it is sourced from animals (bees).

I plan to offer most choices and adjust per usage. Just because you know something doesn't mean you can ram it down the throats of others (literally?). If someone has been using something for 10 years, then not offering it is not going to thrill them.so you'll be offering honey and yellow when you open for business?I have done some research on artificial sweetener studies.

Sounds like the most sensible approachwe do provide all three colors, plus white sugar plus honey..
Vegans also will not eat white sugar, FYI.I have done some research on artificial sweetener studies.

White sugar is sourced from from cane or sugar beets. Not sure what makes it out of bounds to plant only eaters? If I was vegan, I would not reject it (I was vegetarian for a while, years ago).Vegans also will not eat white sugar, FYI.I have done some research on artificial sweetener studies.

Interesting, learn something new every day; per Wikipedia, some white sugar is processed with bone char or coal based activated charcoal.undersea, if you were vegan you would research and discover that bone char (ground up bones from cattle) is used in processing white sugar from cane.
so you either would not be vegan or you would likely go with sugar made from beets. i don't know if all beet sugar is animal product free.
somewhere on forum there is a discussion about bone char and sugar processing..
Beet sugar is vegan friendly. It is only sugar cane that is sometimes processed with bone char. In Canada there is just one factory that uses bone char, Rogers factory 10 (inkjet code) uses bone char, Lantic and Redpath are 100% vegan friendly.undersea, if you were vegan you would research and discover that bone char (ground up bones from cattle) is used in processing white sugar from cane.

Stock yellow only. I am one of the minority that has a very bad aftertaste from stevia. But otherwise we stock the white sugar (vegan friendly). The raw isn't really available, here. Sometimes we have people who ask for brown, but brown is actually a totally fake product. They add molasses to the white stuff..
I grew up with making our own brown sugar. Just add molasses to the white sugar and work it together with a folk.Jon Sable said:.....Sometimes we have people who ask for brown, but brown is actually a totally fake product. They add molasses to the white stuff.
