Both brown sugar and refined sugar are from the sugar-cane. As each process is added, the product becomes paler, so that molasses is black, then is often processed again, and on and on; then when that's processed, it's brown sugar, and then reprocessed and is then sold as raw sugar, then again, reprocessing means the final most processed sugar is white, that's refined sugar. The less processed types of sugar are healthier, there's quite a number of different processings done, although all of that is also about extracting. Icing suger (or also called confectioner's sugar) is the most processed of them all, tastes nice but with not much nutritional value. Chocolate has in it: vegetable fat, icing sugar, cocoa and not much else, it's quite possible to make your own chocolate at home. Bon Appetit!

Relation between bee honey and weight gaining?
Most people believe that using "natural honey" is healthier than eating regular white sugar. Similarly, most people believe that eating "brown sugar" is healthierthan regular sugar. The truth is that your body reacts to honey (and brown sugar) the same way it reacts to normal sugar --- and honey is simply a different from of sugar which comes from a different source. Honey is just as fattening as sugar, there is almost no difference. Also, brown sugar is just as fattening as white sugar. In fact, the main difference between the two is that brown sugar has a few more vitamins and minerals than regular sugar does, but other than that it's just as fattening. Did you know that the main difference between commercial sugar and a naturally growing "sugar cane" is merely a few vitamins and minerals? Health food stores can legally tell you that "natural honey" and "brown sugar" are healthier than sugar because they have "vitamins and minerals" in them, whereas refined sugar does not. Eating a few more vitamins inside your sugar does not make it less fattening, just like eating a chocolate bar with a vitamin pill won't make the chocolate bar any less fattening.
