What is it with these parents who allow their kids to put sugar on their breakfast cereals?

Coco Pops, for example, are 39% sugar, and I've seen adults pouring sugar over them.

WTF?




I'm a boring mum. It's porridge, weet-bix and muesli at our house. No sugar.

But if you have to have sugar, have raw sugar. People think brown sugar is better than white but it's just processed further to make it brown.

White and brown sugar are terrible for you. Same with processed salt (sodium chloride).

Have it as nature intended.

Raw sugar and sea salt.

Nope.

Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses.

Thus, brown sugar is more processed.

No dear. It is white sugar turned brown.

Raw sugar is processed less.

Nope.

Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses.

Thus, brown sugar is more processed.

Wikipedia- Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown colour due to the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content (natural brown sugar).


Dumbasses!!! Mollasses added to white sugar isn't proper brown sugar. It's fake brown sugar.

What is Brown Sugar?

Brown sugar is simply white sugar mixed with molasses. Therefore, brown sugar can hold its shape like wet sand, while white sugar cannot. Raw sugar is also generally brown in color, and forms when the juice of sugar cane evaporates. However, many people refer to brown sugar as granulated white sugar with molasses added to it.

BROWN SUGAR

Do not confuse raw sugar with brown sugar. Brown sugar is simply refined white sugar with a molasses syrup mixed in, then dried again.

No it isn't. Proper brown sugar is partially refined sugar. Further refining turns it white. That's proper brown sugar.

That's the brown sugar you can buy now. Proper brown sugar is partially refined sugar.

Just stick to aspartame if you have a sweet tooth 

If the sugar is not refined further, it will be brown sugar; if it is refined further, the result is a pure form of sucrose, or white sugar.

Also, molasses is sometimes added to refined white sugar to make a brown sugar.

However it is made, brown sugar is essentially incompletely purified sugar colored and flavored by other plant matter, which answers the first question.

Hammer. Listen.

When you go to the shop, there are 3 kinds of sugar you can bu: white, brown and raw.

What is labelled as brown sugar is simply white sugar with molasses added to it.

WHITE SUGAR (ALSO CALLED TABLE SUGAR)

Pure sucrose naturally found in many fruits and vegetables. In nature, it can be found in either sugar cane or sugar beets, but by the time it has been refined to a white crystal, the two are chemically identical.
RAW SUGAR

To make sugar, machines are used: sugar cane (or sugar beet) is initially pressed and the juice is then mixed with lime to achieve the desired ph balance and to help settle out impurities. Reduction of this solution through evaporation produces a solid mass that is passed through centrifuge to get sugar crystals. It is then dried further to produce granules. This sugar is light brown in color and is termed raw sugar. The brown color of raw sugar is due to presence of molasses. Raw sugar is the most natural sugar you can hope to lay your hands on.

BROWN SUGAR

Do not confuse raw sugar with brown sugar. Brown sugar is simply refined white sugar with a molasses syrup mixed in, then dried again.

Thanks Gordon. These dumbasses don't even know what real brown sugar is.  Grin Grin Grin Grin
