Refined white sugar it is very hard on our digestive systems. It's hard to metabolize and also feeds bad bacteria or yeasts in our guts (such as Candida). You can find refined sugar in so many places you would not believe it - like catsup, yogurt, and sometimes canned vegetables. Look at the label and many "juices" are mostly just sugar. I know it's a big challenge, but if you see "sugar" or even "organic cane sugar" or "evaporated can juice" on the label, don't buy it. Have some control over the sugar you eat and don't buy prepared foods that contain added sugar.
There are some excellent alternatives out there: Date sugar and coconut sap are two of my favorites. The sugar made from coconut is actually full of minerals, is low glycemic, and can be used in baking. I like to put it in my coffee and tea.
