Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Are you keen on using brown sugar more than white sugar because you consider it a healthier alternative?
And the official account of the Gulf Health Council recently revealed the truth behind this rumor in a tweet on Twitter.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two types, for example, one teaspoon of brown sugar contains 15 calories, while one tablespoon of white sugar contains 16 calories.
Brown sugar contains molasses, which gives it its color and increases its sweetness.
It is important to take into account the risk of consuming brown and white sugar, as both types cause risks that lead to many diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
