While many people don't notice a difference in taste between the two types of sugar, those with a refined palate can detect subtle differences. Some people find that beet sugar has a neutral taste that isn't very sweet, and some detect an earthy, burnt sugar flavor. Others think that cane sugar has a sweeter, richer flavor with under-notes of caramel or molasses.

The research found that teenagers consuming sucralose, glycyrrhizin, and added sugars had a significantly increased risk of early puberty, particularly in genetically predisposed individuals.

Sugar may be satisfying, but it provides empty calories. Its overconsumption is linked to multiple health issues, prompting health authorities to recommend reductions.
