Brown sugar is usually made by adding molasses to refined white sugar, which gives it a darker colour and supplies a small amount of vitamins and minerals. Gram for gram, brown sugar is slightly lower in calories and carbs than white sugar. Brown sugar also contains more calcium, iron, and potassium, although these nutrients in a typical serving are insignificant. These differences are very minor and unlikely to affect your health. Brown and white sugar are primarily sucrose or table sugar. Both brown and white sugar increases blood sugar levels as much as foods like french fries, sweet potatoes, and popcorn. Consuming sugar in limited quantities is not a major problem. Still, problems occur when you consume too much added sugar, especially the sugar that food manufacturers add to products to increase flavour or extend shelf life. Unlike foods and drinks naturally containing sugar, those with added sugar provide no nutritional value. They are also a poor energy source, as the body quickly digests added sugar. Consuming too much added sugar can raise blood pressure and increase chronic inflammation, which are pathological pathways to heart disease. Excess sugar consumption, especially in sugary beverages, also contributes to weight gain by tricking your body into turning off its appetite-control system because liquid calories are not as satisfying as calories from solid foods. This is why it is easier for people to add more calories to their regular diet when consuming sugary beverages. Be aware of added sugars in food products, don't believe in ads or what is written on the front of the packaging, and it is important to read labels carefully.
