Raw sugars comprise yellow to brown sugars made by clarifying the source syrup by [[boiling]] and drying with heat until it becomes a crystalline solid. Raw beet sugars result from the processing of sugar beet juice, but only as intermediates en route to white sugar. Types of raw sugar include '''demerara''', '''muscovado''', '''rapadura''' and '''turbinado'''. Manufacturers sometimes prepare '''raw sugar''' as loaves rather than as a crystalline powder, by pouring sugar and [[molasses]] together into moulds and allowing the mixture to dry. This results in sugar-cakes or loaves, called '''jaggery''' or '''gur''' in India, '''pingbian tang''' in China, and '''panela''', '''panocha''', '''pile''', '''piloncillo''' and '''pão-de-açúcar''' in various parts of Latin America. | Raw sugars comprise yellow to brown sugars made by clarifying the source syrup by [[boiling]] and drying with heat until it becomes a crystalline solid.

This is about 70 g for men and 50 g for women but it varies depending on: your size, your age and how how active you are. In short, it's probable that we should cut down on the amount of sugar we consume. | ||
