MessageThis I am not entirely sure of, because my source is vague on the method when specifically pertaining to sugar. I believe he is referring primarily to white refined sugar, but it could entail any 'sweetener'. Avoiding natural sugars would be virtually impossible, let alone unhealthy. Here is the entry where he 'defines' sugar (not the fast itself):
"What we're talking about here is sucrose, the white crystalline sugar refined from cane or beet juice by stripping away all its vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, water, and other synergists. White sugar is an industrially processed chemical not found in nature, and it is not fit for human consumption. Other sugars, such as fructose (in fruit and honey), lactose (in milk), and maltose (in grains) are natural substances with nutritional value. Raw sugar is a coarse, brown, sticky variety made by simply boiling down whole cane juice and it too is a wholesome food, but it is very difficult to find in the Western world. The so-called 'brown-sugar' sold in supermarkets is nothing more than refined white sugar with some molasses spun back into it for colour and flavour. It is not a 'health food.' "
This is from 'The Complete Book of Chinese Health and Healing" by Daniel Reid.
