I have heard about this, but not sure if it is ok for bees.
BTW, magkano ba presyo ng magic sugar? Is it really sugar or is it something else?

i did a little search and came across this article. It does not seem to be very healthy, does it ?

Changes are if you feed this to bees , it may end up in the honey as well. My advice is not to use it !!

So its not really sugar but a sugar substitute (synthetic sweetener).
Mukhang delikado nga itong magic sugar, baka iba ang ma magic.

Hi Bochekokik,

I very much agree with you, and for that we should always look for products with "NATURE IDENTICAL . . . . . (what have you)" statement.  A company in Malabon have been contracted by various small and multinational companies to work on their respective drinks and I believe this company imports MAGIC SUGAR from China in manufacturing their products.

Ganun naman karamihan ginagawa ng mga 1st world countries, binebenta sa asia ang mga palpak nilang produkto para hindi sila malugi... but at the expense of the misinformed buyer. Hindi lang ito makikita sa foods, pati sa ibang  technology na rin.

As what other forumers has suggested, stay organic (NATURE IDENTICAL), and stay away from synthetic foods. It doesnt equate that once it is being commercially sold, commercially endorsed by known celebrities would mean that it is good for our health.
The govt also needs to have tougher balls to tackle those companies and the lawyers who work for thm. Lawyers of giant companies are there to defend the product that is taking care of their payslips, not the welfare of the people. Lawyers can be good if they work for you, but can be a total prick if they are working against you. The only sad thing is that the govt sometimes accept that our country can be dumping grounds for those synthetic foods.


The only synthetic that I use is the synthetic oil for my bike, thats just it. For food, we always try to go back to the basics, stay organic stay nature identical
Bottomline, its all about the profit. If people are educated not to buy those products, they will soon be bankrupt. So spread the word.

Dati akong nag work din with a start up company na may contract sa isang company na gumagawa ng mga flavorings - yun pong company na nagsusuply ng mga flavors ay nasa Malabon. 

Pinag uusapan namin dati kung papaano namin mai-prepresent yung product namin na ang magiging dating ay natural (kahit na hindi "totally" natural) sabi nung representative nung company wala silang mai-recommend na mailagay maliban sa ipakilala yung mga drinks as "NATURE IDENTICAL" (saying it the subtle way na ang kanilang products ay hindi talaga natural).  Ganun lang daw inilalagay nung iba pang mga companies (some are well known) na may contrata din sa kanila

Gusto ko lang pong linawin na ang mga produkto na may naka lagay na "NATURE IDENTICAL" ay hindi po talagang natural, bagkus synthesize po ang mga flavors nila from some other "not so" natural flavors - LOL

Sa ngayun yung dati kong employer (based in Boracay selling drinks in swirled ice form) ay ipinakikilala yung kanyang mga drinks as natural.  My goodness!!!
