Don't assume that you aren't eating white sugar when you use brown sugar instead--brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses. Betsy Cvetic ihnp4!drutx!eac

White sugar is made with more refinement then brown sugar, or perhaps more correctly by removing the molasses from the brown sugar. In all this means Don't assume that you aren't eating SUGAR when you use brown sugar the same thing applies to honey (for the most part but it is in a different form). Note: brown sugar is in general only made from sugar cane, while white sugar can be made from either cane or beets. The main reason for this is that people don't like the flaver of the sugar beets that gets left in unless they refine it all of the way to being white (ie taste-less).
