It all depends on how it is evaporated. From research I did (going from memory), there are forms of evaporated cane juice that don't result in the same insulin spike as table sugar. However, there is no standard on what the term means. So "evaporated cane sugar" can mean anything from concentrated cane sugar juice (which is essentially a concentrated whole food), to table sugar. Which is why manufacturers, knowing that people were avoiding sugar, started using the term "evaporated cane juice". They could have just as accurately said sugar, and, in the past, would have, but started changing because research had shown that people who were avoiding added sugar did not consistently recognize phrases like this. The term is so loosely defined that it is 100% correct, and is perfect for deceiving customers.

People who are avoiding added sugar don’t eat jelly beans.
