To my knowledge, brown is better simply because it's less processed than white. if anyone has any updates. please share

Brown sugar is just white sugar with a little molasses in it.
So, make your own.
Why not make maple flavored brown sugar? Use maple syrup instead of molasses.
Or, why no sorghum flavored sugar?

No real difference between white and brown sugar. they are both processed.
Pure cane sugar is better. It tastes good and is healthier.

Unfortunately, sugar is the route cause of all evil. Watch "Big Sugar" you'll find it on YouTube.

Sugar is bad for you, and the environment adn is still a part of the modern slave trade.

I think even if there was a difference, it would be minimal, although I do like brown sugar with coffee and desserts.

forget brown or white sugar. If you can use honey as it's much better for you than either. Maple syrup is expensive, but a good option too!

White or brown, sugar will go very quickly into your blood stream. Too much sugar leads to insulin resistance, diabetes, inflammation throughout the body, higher cholesterol and other health issues. Brown sugar can be either less processed sugar, such as turbinado sugar, or the more commercially available brown sugar that is simply white sugar colored with a little molasses. Both will raise your blood sugar just as much as white sugar.

Molasses does contain calcium, iron and trace minerals - but the amount in brown sugar is so minimal that I would certainly not depend on it for any health benefits.

Honey, too, will raise your blood sugar. Honey is a different kind of sugar, so some people think it will be better for your body. Again trace minerals and antioxidants in honey may be good for you - but too much of any sweetener will create health problems.

Maple syrup is sucrose minute amounts of glucose and fructose, two other kinds of sugar. White sugar is 100 percent sucrose. There is no direct scientific evidence that maple syrup is healthier than white sugar. Diabetics need to treat maple syrup and sugar as they do other sugar products. Maple products are less refined than white sugar, so they contain minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds that may have some health benefits.

The bottom line? While some sugar makes life sweeter, too much will lead to health problems - no matter what form that sugar is in. It all gets broken down into glucose (blood sugar) in the body. Rapid increases in blood sugar levels are linked to many health problems, no matter what the source.
