As part of a balanced plan for healthy eating, you can enjoy sugars in moderation.
Sugars are a source of energy for the body.
During intense physical activity, they are the main energy source. There are no nutritional differences among sugars. It doesn't matter if the sugar is white, brown, organic or raw. The body uses all types in the same way. Although molasses contains a fair amount of potassium, the amount of molasses added to brown sugar is so low it doesn't contribute enough of any vitamin or mineral to count on a food label.
