COCONUT SUGAR: Worth Going Cuckoo Over?

Coconut sugar is gaining in popularity; I haven't even cooked with it yet. But, I'm determined to find out more about it. Reportedly, the glycemic index is low -- 35 -- (below 55 is low), and hence is healthier than white cane sugar, or standard brown sugar. Here's the Wikipedia page, and I'll be looking for more info.

Vitacost is selling two different sizes (12 and 8.4 ounces) for roughly the same price, at around $1.33 per oz. No idea whether this is a good deal or not. I'll try to report on other sources for this product, and prices, soon. Of course, it's more expensive than government-subsidized white cane sugar, to be sure...
