Both are sucrose that originates from either sugar cane or beets. Brown sugar - white sugar that is mixed w molasses (which has sucrose, glucose, and fructose) Meals rich in soluble fiber help regulate blood glucose lvls. Meals rich in fibre, specifically soluble fibre, dilute the contents of gi tract which slows down the rate at which nutrients are absorbed. Leads to smaller increase in the concentration of nutrients such as glucose in the food. A: soluble fibre helps to regulate blood glucose lvls. A diet that promotes constant drastic spikes in blood glucose is one of the leading risk factors for diabetes ii. Carbohydrates = organic molecules whose primary role is to provide energy.

Sugar = molecules that have a single (monosaccharide) or double (disaccharide) unit of sugar in their structure.
