Growing up as the 3rd generation on a sugar cane plantation, I love
those new words too. "Desiccated, evaporated" --that happened in the
mill! The mill where the fabulous smells of warm sugar and molasses
wafted out all over the small town

Poor sugar gets such a bad rap. And we won't start a thread on the
nasty taste of super sweet high fructose corn syrup. That is bad
stuff. At least sugar from sugar cane tastes yummy and has only 18
calories a tablespoon IIRC. How can that be bad? It is the real
stuff.
