Which sugar is better cane sugar or white sugar?

White sugar (granulated sugar) is usually used in cooking (unless the recipe says to use cane sugar) and cane sugar, I'm going to call it brown sugar, is a little bit better for you. Brown sugar is more natural which means they didn't dry and dye it. I personally like brown sugar better that white sugar because you can taste that there has been no chemicals put into it and its yummy to put on my wheat-biscuit cereal. ;-) I'll go a little more scientific on you: Brown sugar has more moisture in it because usually they add some pure molasses to it. And sticks together a little bit because the sugar crystals are smaller than white sugar. White sugar is pure sucrose. They also dye it white. And it goes through many processing machine to get it that way. So, heres the real, big, difference: One cup of brown sugar has slightly more calories than white sugar, but 1 cup of brown sugar has "187 milligrams of calcium, 56 of phosphorous, 1.8 of iron, 757 of potassium, and 97 of sodium compared to the only scant traces of those nutrients found in granulated sugar." So there you have it. Hope I helped!
