Ok this is what I'm finding...
"Sucanat (Sugar Cane Natural) is sugar in its most natural form. It is extracted from the sugar cane and the freshly squeezed juice is evaporated by a special Swiss process. Only the water is removed. This process preserves all of the molasses. Sucanat is organically grown with no added preservatives and additives"
So if it's not refined sugar can I use it like agave?

he said agave and yacon syrups contain medium to long sugar chains which don't start up the pancrease. Beet, corn, and sugar cane have short chains and that starts the blood sugar going up due to insulin release.

I've been using sucanat in my tea and warm cacoa and it's delicious, to me it's probably as raw as agave.

No ill effects here, but I don't use it everyday.
