Re: brown sugar vs white sugar

well your preference is better b/w the comparison of the two. however they both got almost equal amount of calories per gram. they both are made from sugar cane juice. they both instantly spikes up the insulin level of body when consumed however brown sugar's consumption is just slightly slower..
just dont consume brown sugar too much thinking its better than white sugar.

Re: brown sugar vs white sugar

i use it only in tea...............is this ok?

Re: brown sugar vs white sugar

^sure, you can even add 3 tea spoons in your tea and it wont matter. the problem starts when people drinks 4 cups of tea a day and in each cup they add 3 tsps of sugar in each cup. and thats about 200 calories alone and very bad calories....

for your question, for both brown and white sugar, one gram of both contains 1 gram of Carbohydrate which is equal to 4 calories. so both brown and white have same amount of calories in same amount of serving.

However brown is less processed than the white hence its a little (very little) beneficial than the white..
even if you consume 4 tea spoons of sugar/day its not a big deal...

Re: brown sugar vs white sugar

*No big difference. *

Brown sugar has added molases. Brown sugar by volume has equal or slightly more calories but by weight it has slightly less calories. We do not put sugar in food items by weight.
