Hm, I would wonder if it was called 'sugar-free' as well.  Our co-op has a
product policy against refined white sugar (along with animal products,
gmo's, and artificial chemicals).  We do not carry anything with refined
sugar in it.  We do carry evaporated cane juice, organic sugar (same thing,
really, just organic as well), water-washed beet sugar, etc., etc., etc.
The main thing we deal with is the fact that refined sugar is processed with
chemicals, and at one time was processed using ash from animal bones (not
used any longer, AFAIK).  The evaporated stuff has not been thusly
processed, but still reacts with your blood sugar in about the same time and
manner.
	It's all in the 'why's' you're avoiding it in the first place.
