Sugar....
White: Refined from sugar cane or sugar beet, White sugar provides fast-releasing energy but hardly any nutrients. It is known to be the major cause of tooth decay.
Brown sugar is better for you than white ?.....
FALSE.
Refined white sugar is 99.9% pure sucrose. Brown sugar is less refined but is still 98% pure sucrose and 1% water. Although it does retain tiny amounts of minerals and vitamins, these amounts are far too small to do you any good.
Good luck! _;-)

Is brown sugar healthier than white?
No. It is a common misconception that brown sugar is healthier than white. This misconception may have arisen a long time ago, when sugar was still whitened with bleaching agents or dyed with chemicals.
Südzucker has not used bleaching agents or dyes for a very long time, since it obtains pure sugar by means of repeated recrystallisation. Brown sugar only contains very small concentrations of trace elements, which only affect the taste.

it use to be BUT now the sugar industry makes brown sugar by taking process white sugar and re-processing molasses back into. We buy sugar by the pallet load, and consider either organic evaporated cane juice or beet sugar the healthiest.

Because brown sugar isn't bleached 5 times.

White sugar has been processed more; while brown sugar is more natural. Like the whole low carb diet; stay away from refinned sugar, that's white sugar.

refined sugar is converted in the human body to insulin much faster than brown or natural occuring sugars and thus gets converted to either energy or stored energy(fat) much faster which can cause weight gain and type 2 diabetes. just ask ask all the soda drinking fast food eating obese children of this nation.

Brow sugar has more vitamins in it because it is not well-processed compared to the white sugar.

Go here- it will tell you the whole story. We buy sugar from these people, but we get the organically grown natural (which isn't white) http://www.floridacrystals.com/
