    found this on the net for you:

    Granulated white sugar is essentially pure sucrose, whether derived from tropical sugar cane, or temperate sugar beets. White sugars vary mostly in the size of their crystals. The degree of processing by the manufacturer may also account for different degrees of whiteness.

    Brown sugars are of two basic types: sticky and free-flowing. Both are produced by adding a suitable type of syrup (these days it's usually molasses) to purified or refined sugar. The color and texture of the final product are determined by the ratio of sugar to syrup in the mix, as well the the original colors of the constituent ingredients.

    Brown sugar tastes nicer.

    Demorara is best. Muscavado is alright though.

    Brown sugar tends to have more minerals and vitamins than white. Albeit, not much.

    I have heard/read contradictory info on this, some say this is true others say it's not.

    The white stuff gets bleached though, right?

    Succanat/rapadura is unrefined dried sugar cane sap.
    Reading from the label, 100g contains the following:-
    372kcals/1581kj
    Carbohydrate 93g
    Protein 0.1g
    Fat 0g
    Calcium 1300mg
    Phosphorus 115mg
    Magnesium 65.9mg
    Zinc 2.1mg
    This adds up to 94.5g. So what's the missing 5.5g - fibre?

    Tastes nice, but it's still 93% carbs.
