What our nutritionist says
Even though cane sugar contains some nutrients, they are not enough to satisfy your nutritional needs. Consuming too much can lead to harmful effects, as cane sugar has the same effects on your body as any other sugar. Therefore, it is recommended to consume in moderation and stick to the serving size.
FAQ
1. What makes cane Sugar different from Regular White Sugar?
They are processed to a different extent - The refining process to make cane sugar is less than White Sugar. This causes more molasses to be retained, therefore they contain more vitamins and minerals than White Sugars. The high molasses content gives it a darker colour with more moisture and flavour.
Mommy’s Corner
It is not recommended to give babies sugar below 12 months of age. Introducing sugar or sweeteners too early may lead to problems such as tooth decay, hyperactivity, and obesity.
Cane sugar is considered safe for pregnant women. However, do consume in moderation.
