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.

Table sugar because it is very bad for you and it like candy x2.

Raw sugar has trace amounts of minerals but it's not enough minerals to be nutritionally significant. Raw sugar is less processed than table sugar but it contains the same amount of carbohydrates and has the same effect on your blood sugar as table sugar when ingested. The best source of natural sugar comes from whole fruit which has significant amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber.

no not really

raw sugar is good because it has not breen procesed with any cemecals, white sugar has been bleached to get that color. HOWEVER white sugar is a little bit sweeter so it has that advantage.

raw sugar also not as tasty on cereal from my experience. in coffee though raw is fine

Organic is the sugar that needs to be used in a choice between it and raw sugar. Organic production permits no chemicals, genetic modification, synthetics or toxins and results in an unrefined sugar that retains the minerals, polyphenols and vitamins in sugar cane. Raw sugar represents the end product of sugar cane subjected to chemicals and void of nutrients.

What is the difference between sugar and artificial sweetener?

I suggest that you go to www.douglasreport.com. I was told that artificial sweeteners were bad for me by my doctor. I thought, well, if they are bad for me, why did the FDA pass them..this site gave me the answer to to that question. Hope this helps.I have heard That artificial sweeteners can be worse because your body has no need for it and does not know what to do with it. SO your liver has to take time from making energy from stored fats and other things to get rid of the Sweeteners because there is no need for it in your body. This can make losing fat actually harder than just eating regular sugar but regular sugar is still not healthy for you.
