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!

Is Sugar Cane the Same as Cane Sugar?
Sugar cane refers to the tall grass plant from which sugar is extracted. Cane sugar, on the other hand, is the crystallized sugar that is processed and refined from sugar cane. In short, sugar cane is the raw plant, while cane sugar is the refined product.
How is sugar cane processed into white sugar?
Sugar cane is first crushed to extract its juice. The juice is then filtered and boiled to form a thick syrup. Through a series of crystallization, centrifugation, and drying processes, the sugar crystals are separated from the molasses, resulting in refined white sugar.
What is the difference between refined sugar and cane sugar?
Refined sugar can be made from cane sugar. Cane sugar refers to a sugar made form the grass called "sugar cane". Sugar can also be made from "sugar beet". "Refined sugar" refers to the fact that the sugar juice has been processed and cleans to form a white crystalline product. You can also purchase "unrefined sugar" which will be brown in colour (and is nearly always made from sugar cane).
How do you make sugar crystal from sugar cane?
The basic process is to mash up the cane to extract the juice, then evaporate the liquid portion to leave behind the sugar. As you might imagine, there are intermediate steps of refining to get the pure white substance. Minimal refinement (such as just filtering to get out the shreds of cane) give brown sugar. Mild refinement gives "blonde" sugar (sometimes called "turbinado" sugar).

What is the difference between cane sugar and white sugar?
