If these info isn’t enough to convince you to finally ditch the sugar, read this article which has 143.

Brown sugar - Because of its molasses content, brown sugar does contain certain minerals, most notably calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium (white sugar contains none of these). But since these minerals are present in only minuscule amounts, there is no real health benefit to using brown sugar.

Honey - an amber fluid made by honey bees (Apis mellifera) from the nectar of flowers, has been ‘nature’s sweetener’ for centuries and is ‘superior’ to sugar. It contains only about 30 percent glucose and less than 40 percent fructose. And there are also about 20 other sugars in the mix, many of which are much more complex, and dextrin, a type of starchy fiber. This means that your body expends more energy to break it all down to glucose. Therefore, you end up accumulating fewer calories from it.
