Dear Sir,
It is being considered to declare refiner Sugar (available in the market nowadays and consumed by one and all) as a poison/toxin equivalent because of its effect on the human body.

While it is wonderful to read and relish all the wonderful iyengar lovable recipies,
Can we please ask the recipes to quote Non-refiner sugar (or) Jaggery to be substituted just like the good old days. Please advise me if I might be wrong.
