Sugar seems simple. It comes from plants, so it must be Vegan… right? In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we unpack why sugar is one of the most misunderstood ingredients in Vegan living and how its processing raises deeper questions about values, intention, and harm reduction.

We explore how bone char is used in some sugar refining, why this matters to some Vegans and not others, and how this same debate shows up in wine, beer, figs, palm oil, and processed foods. This is not about purity or calling anyone out. It is about understanding how food systems work and giving people space to choose what aligns with their values.

Whether you are new to Veganism, a longtime Vegan, or simply curious, this episode invites reflection, compassion, and honest conversation. Veganism is not about being perfect. It is about doing better together.
