Raw Sugar is Better than White Sugar

Here is an interesting myth that has persisted for a long time:

*Myth: * Brown or Raw sugar are healthier than refined white sugar

*Truth:* All sugars contain the same amount of calories.

So, what is the real difference between brown sugar, raw sugar and white sugar? Brown and raw sugar have more minerals than refined sugar. However, the mineral content is minimal and therefore insignificant when considered in the overall balanced diet. You need to ensure that your daily additional sugar intake should be less than 10% of your total daily intake.

*Types of Sugar*:

Refined sugar is any sugar product treated to remove the molasses - the by-product presents itself in the form of brown sugar syrup.

Brown Sugar is refined white sugar but with added molasses.

Raw Sugar is sugar which has been minimally processed and has a higher molasses content.
