And as he explained Fernando AparicioNutritionist, specialist in natural recipes at Espacio Orgánico and ‘punk health coach’ (@punk_health_coach): “White sugar is a type of more advanced sugar because of the rehabilitation treatment you have. ” “As a general rule, refined sugar is sweeter than the so-called brown sugar” (…) “we must distinguish between brown sugar, which is usually refined sugar to which molasses is added , and all cane sugar, which He eats. It is not refined and therefore will provide some more minerals than white sugar.”
it is white sugar some of them have refined sugarmore progress and less, therefore, less benefit, and according to this expert:
Today we can see how the excess of sugar and carbohydrates in the diet is the first food problem in industrialized societies. You just have to look at the statistics for diabetes, obesity and metabolic disorders related to many sugars in food.
Both white and brown are available 85% sucrose approx.
