Sugar Myth


Many people on diets begin using brown sugar because they think it's "better" - perhaps confusing what they've been told about brown and white rice. The truth is that both brown and white sugar are both sucrose. The only difference is that brown sugar has some molasses added for flavor and color - and that brown sugar has no nutritional benefits over the table-variety white kind!
