Not really. Some people even claim that cane is healthier than beet sugar. By the time they are fully refined into the white granular material that you see bagged in the marketplace, neither is anything more than just sucrose with all of the possibly healthy components removed.

Is confectioners' sugar the same as cane sugar?
Cane sugar is sucrose which has been extracted from sugarcane, a tropical plant which produces naturally high concentrations of this sweet substance. Humans have been utilizing cane sugar in cooking for hundreds of years, and cane sugar was at one point a major element in global trade. Today, most markets carry cane sugar in a variety of forms, from minimally processed raw sugar to sugar cubes; cane sugar typically tends to be a more expensive form of sucrose, but many people prefer it because they believe it has a superior flavor. Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States. Because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar, and so is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids. It is not as fine as confectioner's sugar, which has been crushed mechanically (and generally mixed with a little starch to keep it from clumping).

Why is making sugar out of sugarcane more popular than making it out of sugar beet?
Now im no expert in sugar production but after doing some research on how sugar is processed i can see why sugar cane would be a preferred method over sugar beets for 2 reasons. 1. Sugar cane requires less steps to process then sugar beets do. with beets you have to slice it, diffuse it (juice it basically), carbonate it (to remove impurities), evaporate it, and then crystallize it. Sugar cane however begins with mixing the cane in heavy syrup (this gets rid of the less pure sugar on the outside of the cane), carbonate it, crystallize it. Now im sure your thinking, "but there's not much difference". well the difference is that the diffusion in Sugar beets takes a lot longer than Sugar cane does, so sugar cane is more efficient. 2. sugar cane is much easier to grow and grows in vast numbers compared to sugar beets. if you have ever been to a sugar can field you will see how close together you can grow a field of cane compared to beets :D i hope this helps a bit. i would do a bit more research on the topic if you want more details. wiki is a great place to start.
