Is sugar in the raw healthier than brown sugar?
The question: What sugar should I be eating, white sugar, brown sugar or raw sugar? The short answer is raw sugar. Here’s why… Many people believe that brown sugar is better for you than white sugar. This is a absolute myth! Brown sugar has exactly the same calorie count as white sugar because most brown sugars are just white sugars mixed with molasses. What is better for you though, is raw sugar. Natural sugar that has not been processed and refined like white sugar and most brown sugar has a natural tan color to it. Because it is not processed with chemicals and altered it is easier for your body to process it. It is sweeter and has a better flavor than refined ground up sugar too! A good rule of thumb, anytime you can eat whole foods over processed foods do it. Sources: http://www.dailyweightlosstips.
