brown sugar

How we reached this

Sucrose with molasses retained (or reintroduced), giving a small mineral and polyphenol edge over refined white sugar and nothing more. Raised from 3 to parity with cane sugar (6), which its own prior rationale already asserted — 'same caloric and metabolic load as white sugar' — while scoring three points below it; molasses, its other constituent, rates 7. The added-sugar caution is unchanged: AHA and WHO limits apply exactly as they do to white sugar. This corrects an internal inconsistency, not the underlying nutritional position.
