BingDing said:Has anyone come to a conclusion about a good sugar to use in the US?
Rachel said:FWIW, Domino®, C&H®, Florida Crystals®, Redpath®, Jack Frost® and Tate & Lyle® brands of sugar are all produced by the same company.
The Fanjul brothers were parodied in Carl Hiaasen's 1993 novel Strip Tease, which features a pair of Cuban brothers who own a large sugar conglomerate, that receives enormous profits from the exploitation of immigrant labor and the subsidies regularly voted to them by the United States Congress.[4]
The brothers also were a focus in the Jamie Johnson documentary The One Percent, which showcases the corrupt use of cane workers and especially "imported" labor. The U.S. Dept. of Labor's "List of Goods Produced by Child or Forced Labor"[5] report lists sugarcane from the Domincan Republic as having child and forced labor. This is a major source of sugarcane[6] for Domino Foods which is owned by Florida Crystals and the Fanjul brothers.

Aaaaah, the sugar of my childhood.
Imperial Sugar is now owned by the Louis Dreyfus Group of the Netherlands.

BingDing said:Cool, thanks Rachel. Of course they don't sell it around here.

I imagine calcium carbonate powder is okay because the body can read this form of calcium but the impurities will be a problem after a while. Powdered egg shells or powdered oysters shells are much better. 1 Tablespoon a day would be fine.
mdrsports31 said:some magnesium supps u may be able to add to the list....
"Use natural sources of magnesium, such as pure, organic fruit juice, or
an epsom salts bath (1/2 cup in a tub, soak for 20 minutes), BioNativus Liquid minerals
or Magnesium Taurate are good sources of magnesium" -lita lee
Birdie said:Yes, Ray recommends natural sources in juice and also using epsom salt baths. He says to use a pound in the tub. I thought the epsom salt baths were listed in the supps.
I've heard Ray say that he uses Magnesium oil on the skin. He doesn't much trust supplements since they can have added toxic ingredients.
