Most people believe that using "natural honey" is healthier than eating regular white sugar. Similarly, most people believe that eating "brown sugar" is healthierthan regular sugar. The truth is that your body reacts to honey (and brown sugar) the same way it reacts to normal sugar --- and honey is simply a different from of sugar which comes from a different source. Honey is just as fattening as sugar, there is almost no difference. Also, brown sugar is just as fattening as white sugar. In fact, the main difference between the two is that brown sugar has a few more vitamins and minerals than regular sugar does, but other than that it's just as fattening. Did you know that the main difference between commercial sugar and a naturally growing "sugar cane" is merely a few vitamins and minerals? Health food stores can legally tell you that "natural honey" and "brown sugar" are healthier than sugar because they have "vitamins and minerals" in them, whereas refined sugar does not. Eating a few more vitamins inside your sugar does not make it less fattening, just like eating a chocolate bar with a vitamin pill won't make the chocolate bar any less fattening.
