White or brown sugar…which is richer in calories?
Many believe that brown sugar may be less harmful to health than white sugar because it contains fewer calories. Is this information scientifically correct? Regarding the subject, the Russian doctor, Alexander Myasnikov, said during his medical program presented on the “Russia” channel: “I believe that there is little difference between white sugar and brown sugar in terms of the number of calories. In both types, it is very similar, so their effect is similar.” On the body when following diets. He added: “The difference between these two types lies in the raw sources of their production and the method of processing. White sugar is often obtained from sugar beets, and brown sugar is usually extracted from sugar cane or beets.” Many scientific studies indicate that the two mentioned types of sugar are very similar in terms of their calorie content, but there is a difference in the way they are processed. White sugar is subjected to more processing operations, and brown sugar is sometimes a mixture of white sugar and molasses. This is what gives it the dark color. To reduce the harmful effects of processed sugar on the body, some nutritionists advise replacing it with honey or eating fresh fruits, but in reasonable quantities.
