The issue here is consuming fructose and sucrose. Organic or not won't factor in.

I'd argue that organic can make all the difference, if the problem with sugar is the processing, not the substance.

You definitely free to argue that, but is there some scientific basis or any study you can point to?

The issue with sugar is how the body processes fructose and glucose. Unless there is indication that substances present in non-organic vs organic sugar modify digestion of sucrose and fructose there isn't much to the theory organic makes sugar less harmful.

I am not a scientist that can argue how the body processes fructose/glucose. But I can argue the difference between raw unprocessed sugar cane plant vs processed white sugar.

Processed white sugar has a detrimental effect on the body, and unprocessed sugar does not. Or if it does, it's so minimal as to be unnoticeable in my own tests.

This includes ability to concentrate, lethargy, dental health, sleep, hyperactivity and general health like colds and the flu.

This is from my own experimentation with multiple people, first hand, not just reading what others have said.
