This is what i heard on the internet is it true.In the us, approximately half of white table sugar(labelled cane sugar or surcrose or simply sugar)is made from sugar cane the production of white sugar from sugar cane involves a whitening step that is often accomplished by filtering the sugar with activated bone charcoal.While no animal products remain in the sugar some vegans choose toavoid it.

I am a vegan, and I heard that was true.
So organic all the way ^ ^!

I never knew this, but I think companies are obliged to adhere to rules on displaying something as Vegan or Vegetarian. For example, things like shampoo have Vegan written on them, even though the contents you wouldnt generally associate with having any animal contents.

FALSE. Sugar is brown after extraction, and is whitened by simply washing in water. The brown color comes from molasses formed during extraction.
BTW.... ALL Sugar is all natural IE: Organic. No preservatives added, and not man made.
