Oops, sorry sugar.

So I have to admit today I was really gonna do it and branch out past Voxx. But then I realized, I really shouldn't just wing it and head to the first coffee shop I see, I should do some research. I figured I could do that but then I could just find myself highly caffeinated with a bunch of shit coffee. Never a good thing. So back to Voxx I am, I think I'm addicted.

While waiting for my Mach, I looked at what I thought was sugar in the raw the whole time (for the past five months) and I realized that it says evaporated cane juice. Now I thought to myself could this be the answer to my question? Is this why Voxx has me hooked like a meth addict? I'm not sure but I'm gonna find out.

So I did a little research to find out what the difference between evaporated cane juice and sugar in the raw..

Check this out:

"Evaporated cane juice is crystallized sugar, minus the final refining stages, which allows it to retain a small amount of molasses and gives the crystals their light tan color."

"It is interesting to note that raw sugar is already refined. Only evaporated cane juice is truly "raw" sugar (of the cane variety - sugars can come from other sources as well, such as beets and fruit). Once the cane juice crystals are harvested, they are washed, boiled, centrifuged, filtered, and dried. The purpose of this is to remove all of the original plant materials (stalk, fiber, etc.) to produce the pure sugar. This process removes most of the fiber and nutrients that existed in the original crystals. The sugar then becomes refined, and is now a food high in calories with little nutritional value."

So now that I found out about this little mystery, I may have solved the my own mystery as to why I love Voxx coffee so much! Oh life. I will keep you posted and I promise that I will actually start going to other places to keep this blog interesting :)
