This is not true.  White sugar is made with more refinement then brown
sugar,  or perhaps more correctly by removing the molasses from the
brown sugar.

In all this means Don't assume that you aren't eating SUGAR when you
use brown sugar the same thing applies to honey (for the most part
but it is in a different form).

Note: brown sugar is in general only made from sugar cane, while white
sugar can be made from either cane or beets.  The main reason for this
is that people don't like the flaver of the sugar beets that gets left
in unless they refine it all of the way to being white (ie taste-less).
