Brown Sugar, Is It Healthier Than White Sugar?

-
Lately, the popularity of brown sugar is very high along with the mushrooming of boba beverage sales outlets.  As a sweetener for food and drinks, brown sugar is considered healthier than white sugar or granulated sugar.  To find out the facts, we need to know first what is meant by this brown sugar.
Brown sugar is basically sugar that turns brown from molasses, which is liquid from cane drops when making granulated sugar.  Normally, molasses is separated and removed during sugar production.
In the beginning, what was called brown sugar – especially those that refer to “raw sugar” – was sugar that had not been completely refined.  However, most producers choose to add back molasses to refined sugar.  The amount of molasses added is around 5-10 percent, so the color and size of the crystals from the end of the sugar can be controlled.  The amount of molasses will determine the type of brown sugar, whether the variant is light or dark.
In terms of nutrition, there isn’t much difference between the two sugars.  According to the US Department of Agriculture, brown sugar contains 17 kilocalories per teaspoon, whereas granulated sugar contains 16 kilocalories. 
Because of molasses, brown sugar contains several minerals, such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium.  The content is not found in sugar.
However, because the amount of the ingredient is very small, basically there are no health benefits from minerals in brown sugar.  The difference between the two sugar variants is only the taste and effect when used for baking. 
In other words, if it’s called brown sugar it’s healthier, it’s just a marketing trick.  Most people believe it because all this time knowing brown rice is healthier than white rice.  Unfortunately, that does not apply to sugar.
