The short answer: no.

More information: The term "pure cane sugar" usually refers to refined white sugar that has had all the nutrients removed except for sucrose, a simple carbohydrate. It is high in calories and high on the glycemic scale, which means it is a major contributor to a multitude of serious health problems, including Diabetes, obesity and inflammation.

While pure cane sugar is not harmful in small amounts or when used in making special treats, it is not healthy in the amounts typically consumed in much of the world.

Pure cane sugar is only organic if all methods of making it were natural. For example, you can't have used any inorganic fertilizers or pesticides, just water and natural supplies when growing the sugar cane. The word "organic" means "containing carbon". I, for one, do not recognize the US Government's power to changethe definition of words. There's nothing in the Constitution that gives them such power. So definitions involving the methods used in growing a crop are irrelevant. I stick by the actualdefinition of the word, "containing carbon". The chemical formula for sucrose (the chemical name for table sugar) is C12H22O11. The "C" stands for carbon. So, sugar clearly contains carbon. It is therefore organic. Regardless of how it is produced. By the way, water is not organic. So, if you accept this government redefinition of the word "organic", using inorganic water on the crop makes it inorganic. And, because it's impossible to grow any sugar crop without water, there's no such thing as "organic sugar". ---- Brown sugar is simply unrefined, white sugar is sugar and organic sugar can be either brown or white or 'pure cane'.

Not necessarily. What most people call brown sugar is white refined sugar to which molasses has been added. There are also "natural" sugars such as raw sugar, turbinado, or natural brown sugar which are all basically the same thing. It's basically evaporated cane juice which has crystallized. It doesn't go through the refining process like white sugar. There are no additives or dyes like there might be in traditional brown sugar. However, the only way any of those sugars could be organic is if the sugar cane itself was grown organically, i.e. without pesticides or chemicals. To be organic, a food can also NOT be genetically modified.

Sugar is the processed juice of the sugar cane, so sugar is organic.

Sugar is made up of?

Brown sugar and white sugar are more or less the same thing and manufactured the same way. They both are extracted, purified, filtered and crystalized into raw sugar from fresh cane juice. The difference between brown sugar and white sugar is that molasses is added to completely refined white sugar crystals. Brown sugar is a little healthier than white sugar since it retains most of its minerals thanks to the molasses. I have made the switch to organic brown sugar, and I have chosen Organic Tattva, as all their produce is made without any pesticides, preservatives, or toxins. I feel healthier, every day thanks to Organic Tattva
