I have difficulty with that since sugar (sucrose) has been sugar since 
the dawn of time, and to change its molecular composition would make it 
something other than sugar.

In addition, to make it you go through a long process of refinement. 
That would seem to make the end product exactly what it was before GMO.

Most concerns about GMO crops are related to the effect of the plant or 
fruit, unmodified, on the environment or us. So if we eat BT corn, what 
does that do? Ids BT in the corn and how much? Or is it in the pollen 
and what does that do to bees? Those are valid concerns, but not if you 
take the product, like sugar beets or corn, and put it through the 
processing that results in sugar.
