Why is brown sugar better then white sugar?
Neither brown or white sugar have any health benefits for you. The idea that brown sugar is healthier than white sugar is a myth born of the fact that brown rice, wheat breads, and wheat pasta, amongst other brown versions of whiter foods are healthier for you. In fact, brown sugar is merely white sugar with molasses added to it. When raw sugar is harvested from sugar cane it can have a slightly brown appearance because of the presence of molasses. The raw sugar becomes white from bleaching to remove the molasses, and the brown sugar that we use for baking is simply white sugar with an amount of molasses added, more or less, to make dark or light brown sugar, respectively. Though molasses in the brown sugar does have minerals such as iron, potassium, and calcium, the amounts are so small as to have no nutritional value to the human body. Both brown and white sugar are nearly 100% pure sucrose. Therefore, whether brown is better than white is nothing more than personal taste. Brown sugar has a richer flavor because of the presence of molasses, and brown sugar used in products such as cookies can give them a softer, chewier texture than white sugar. That is the only real difference between the two versions. So, to answer the question "why is brown sugar better than white sugar", in two words: it isn't.

Is raw sugar better than artificial sweeteners?
Raw unrefined sugar is not the same as the brown sugar that you see in the store, even though they are both brown. Unrefined raw sugar is made from the juice from the sugar cane plant and has trace minerals and nutrients present. Refined sugar is devoid of all nutrients.They now sell two types of raw sugar in North America so you need to research your sources. Raw Sugar is what is left after processing the sugar cane to remove the molasses and refine the white sugar. In North America raw sugar is actually not "raw" as it has been partially refined to remove any contaminants. The color is similar to light brown sugar but it's texture is grainier.

Does black sugar exist?
I don't think so. Here is some definitions of the types of sugar. ; Brown sugar (light and dark) =Refined white sugar that is then mixed with molasses syrup to impart color and a molasses flavor. The more syrup used, the darker the color and stronger the flavor. ; Raw sugar = The residue left after sugarcane has been processed to remove molasses and refine sugar crystals. It is not the same as brown sugar, though the tastes are very similar. In the raw state, sugar may contain contaminants such as molds and fibers. ; Demerara sugar = A type of raw sugar from Guyana. Large golden crystals and slightly sticky. ; Muscovado or Barbados sugar = A type of raw sugar. Very dark brown and a particularly strong molasses flavor. Slightly coarser crystals and stickier texture than typical dark brown sugar. ; Turbinado sugar = A type of raw sugar that has been partially refined by steam-cleaning to remove the surface molasses and contaminates. Blond color with a mild molasses flavor. ; Free-flowing brown sugar = Specialty products produced by a special process that yields fine, powder-like brown sugar that is less moist than typical brown sugar, does not lump, and is free-flowing like granulated sugar. ; brown sugar (1 cup) ; ....... 1 cup white sugar + 2 Tbsp. sorghum molasses ; ; dark brown sugar (1 cup) ; .......1 cup light brown sugar + 1 Tbsp. molasses OR.......1 cup granulated sugar + 2 Tbsp. molasses ; ; light brown sugar (1 cup) ; .......2/3 cup dark brown sugar + 1/3 cup granulated sugar OR.......1 cup turbinado sugar ; ; demerara sugar ; .......turbinado sugar OR.......granulated sugar OR.......light brown sugar ; ; muscovado sugar.......dark brown sugar ; ; turbinado sugar ; .......demerara sugar OR.......light brown sugar OR.......raw sugar NOTE: Liquid or granulated brown sugars should never be substituted for regular brown sugar in recipes. NOTE: Unless otherwise stated by a particular recipe,brown sugar should correctly be measured by firmly packing it into a measuring cup of the correct size, using a spoon, spatula or other object to tightly press as much as possible into the cup and then level the top.

Is the red hot chili peppers album blood sugar sex magik better than californication?
It depends on who's listening but I like Blood Sugar Sex Magik far better than Californication. Blood Sugar is raw and aggressive; Californication is not as heavy or raw, its a bit more poppy sounding but still an excellent album.
