Can sugar be healthy? Yes!
MEET BONUMOSE CEO, ED ROGERS...
Healthy sugar is the holy grail of sweetness. Lucy talks with Ed Rogers, CEO of Bonumose, to hear about the special nutritional components of tagatose - a healthy sugar.
Bonumose creates delicious, rare sugars that are affordable and healthy. Bonumose has a mindset of “business as a moral imperative” to make a lasting positive effect on the world.
How Sweet it Is!
Tagatose is a rare sugar that not only tastes sweet but has multiple health benefits, such as fiber and prebiotics. It doesn’t affect one’s glycemic index and has fewer calories than regular cane sugar. Because it has the same characteristics as sugar, it can be used in baked goods, sports drinks, candy, ice cream, protein bars, the list goes on to include anything that uses regular sugar.
Join us as we talk to Ed who has 30 years of entrepreneurial business experience as a founder, investor, adviser, and lawyer. Before co-founding Bonumose, he practiced law for 11 years, co-founded an animal food technology company, and designed and implemented a grant-funded venture investment endowment for a foundation in rural Virginia. He has a Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor degrees from the University of Virginia.
At the recent Tagatose production kickoff event, the Bonumose team invited Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to help scoop the first ceremonial spoonful of tagatose. It was wonderful to see the standing room-only crowd, including investors iSelect Fund, ASR Group, The Hershey Company, Applied Food Sciences, Ed Williams, and our friends from Japan.

Farm Bill Remains on Life Support
Most of us don't know it, but the U.S. Farm Bill governs how our food system operates...from the dirt to our dinner plates. Renewal of the bill was due last year, and now it looks like yet another one-year extension may be in the works. So what’s the problem? And why should we care?
