Gary has been dutifully experimenting with his histamine diet. He’s reported some improvements. He was checking to see if white sugar triggered his sores, so he switched to coconut sugar.

… I know most sugar is brown before it’s refined, but coconut is *white*? But maybe it’s the fat that whitens it and if you extract the non-fat juice it’s brown…
KC – or maybe the sugar in the coconut turns brown as it ages, like how really old potatoes get brown when the starch turns to sugar?
Oxidization is a thing, but I thought it was parallel to the starch->sugar thing instead of part of it…. I am not sure.
Probably google knows how coconut sugar is made and why it is in little brown pellets, though. But I am feeling lazy.
KC – Not what I expected to find. It’s caramelized!
Aha! Caramelized explains it!
