"Brown Sugar: Healthy or Not?"
Brown sugar, a popular cooking ingredient, is made from mixing granulated white sugar with molasses and comes in light and dark varieties. Despite its distinct flavor and use in various recipes, brown sugar has very little nutritional value and should not be considered healthier than white sugar. Both brown and white sugars are categorized as added sugars, and dietary recommendations suggest limiting intake to under 50 grams per day. Overconsumption of added sugars, including brown sugar, has been linked to health risks such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and stroke, so it's advised to use as little as possible.
