There is almost no difference between brown sugar and white sugar. Both of them harm our metabolism at the same rate.
Unlike white sugar, brown sugar is brown in color. It gets its brown color from molasses sugar. Molasses is a substance that has the appearance of molasses, is very viscous and dark brown in color. The content of molasses consists of 50% sugar, 20% water and 30% non-sugar substances. Molasses is a type of sugar. For this reason, the harms and side effects of sugar actually apply to molasses.
Since the crystals of brown sugar are smaller by nature, the same volume of brown sugar is more caloric than white sugar. So, when you use a cube of brown sugar, you will consume more calories as its grammage increases because it has smaller crystals than white sugar. Even if you use granulated brown sugar, even if you use it in equal amounts with white sugar, you will unknowingly use more sugar.
What are the Harms of Molasses (brown sugar)?
As we understand, molasses is a type of sugar. Therefore, the harms and side effects found in sugar are actually also valid for molasses. Research also draws much attention to the relationship between sugar and cancer. In particular, associations have been found with consumption of starch-based sugars, indicating an increased risk of breast cancer. Not only starch-based but also all types of sugar cause cancer. In addition, many studies show that sugar is one of the risk factors for heart health. And sugar leads to obesity.
Moreover, we get a less sweet taste from brown sugar due to its molasses content; Therefore, it creates the need to use more.
Brown sugar and white sugar have almost the same amount of calories in grams. As a result, there is no such thing as healthy sugar. We can make a fresh start by removing sugar from our lives.
