White Sugar

Adds sweetness to foods and drinks.
Brown Sugar
Also provides quick energy.
Contains a small amount of molasses, which gives it tiny amounts of minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium.

Which is healthier?
Brown sugar is not significantly healthier than white sugar. The mineral content in brown sugar is very small and does not provide meaningful health benefits. Both contain about the same amount of calories and affect blood sugar in a similar way.
