LoGICane low GI sugar launched in New Zealand

Following the success of LoGiCane in Australia, the world's first low GI cane sugar crossed the Tasman in November and is now available throughout New Zealand. Distributed by NZ Sugar under their iconic Chelsea Sugar brand, LoGiCane has been dubbed...

"the most exciting news to the sugar category in 125 years!"

Sounds a rather tall claim, but consider these points...

• Over the past century, not much has changed in the way sugar is refined.
• Sugar is often regarded by nutritionists as a hollow ingredient because it contains virtually no minerals.
• LoGiCane is the first all natural cane-derived sugar to be certified as low GI by the Glycemic Index Foundation, and with a low GI of 50, is the first cane sugar suitable for diabetics.

That's a pretty big breakthrough in an industry that has increasingly come under fire for contributing to the diabesity epidemic. We're not so sure that sugar is the real culprit, but we do agree that sugar ought be consumed in moderation as part of a balance diet, and not in excess.

Whilst it's nigh impossible to avoid added sugars in packaged foods, where we can make a choice, we believe we ought to make the best choices possible. For this reason, we're proud of LoGiCane as it represents a healthier, more nutritious alternative to white sugar.
