Is Raw Sugar Better than White Sugar?
In a nutritional sense, white sugar has the same number of calories and the same chemical makeup as raw sugar. It has been speculated that some non-organic sugar companies use animal bone char to whiten their sugar, but this may or may not be the case. The only difference between raw sugar and white sugar is that raw sugar is unrefined and sold in its natural state, whereas white sugar may or may not have additional additives.
