A member asked:
Any suggestions on which is more nutritious, simple sugar or raw sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: neither is nutritious, both contain sucrose which has no vitamins or minerals. it provides calories without the benefit of other nutrients you may need. too much of it may do more harm than good by replacing nutrient rich foods that you need
