PAP decides to starve malays to death

why not right? sinkies seem to love their sugar. So more revenue for government to send to Temasick.
All those bubble tea shops! Coffee shops! HUGE $$$$$$!!!!!!! maybe even better than tax on Petrol!
social media influencers hardly post cheap sugary drinks such as kickapoo or fanta soda. they post "sexpensive" (sexy and expensive) beverages costing at least $6.9. if the price doesn't cross the $6.9 threshold the drink doesn't deserve space and time on their precious pages. this move will tip the balance of ads' impact on low ses vs. high ses drinks. sinkies will still be flooded by "social media content" (ads disguised as content) and spend more on sugary desserts and beverages. hole in their pockets and hole in their health. sinkies die die must try.

SUMMARYBrown sugar contains slightly more minerals and marginally fewer calories than white sugar. However, the nutritional differences between the two are insignificant.
Maybe you meant gula melaka( palm sugar)
Health Benefits of Palm Sugar
Since palm sugar is an unrefined sugar, it is known to be rich in vitamins and minerals. As a result, it has become increasingly popular as a substitute to white and brown sugar. Research studies have found that it contains minerals like potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, manganese and copper; small amounts of phytonutrients such as polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanidin; and antioxidants. It is rich in B vitamins, especially inositol (Vit8) which is needed for the formation of healthy cells, as well as thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid and choline.

It contains the same 16 amino acids as present in the sap from which it is derived. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are needed for cell growth and repair.
One of the biggest reasons of the popularity of palm sugar is due to its low glycemic index, a method of measuring how carbohydrates impact blood glucose levels. A high GI means that the food is rapidly absorbed by the body thereby increasing the blood sugar level and causing the pancreas to release large amounts of insulin. A low GI indicates that the food is slowly absorbed, preventing the spike in insulin level. Researchers have found that the GI of palm sugar is 35, compared to honey at 55 and table sugar at 68.
Palm sugar also contains a dietary fiber called inulin, which is known to keep a check on blood sugar levels, and low amount of fructose, a type of sugar our body quickly converts into triglyceride - a form of fat.
Although these factors have led to the claim that palm sugar has little impact on blood sugar levels and is suitable for diabetics, let's not forget that it is still a sweetener. As mentioned in an article on The Huffington Post by fitness and nutrition expert JJ Virgin, "...a study in the ASEAN Food Journal found coconut sugar has about 71 per cent sucrose, which in other words is table sugar, as well as 3 per cent pure glucose and 3 per cent pure fructose. In other words, about 78 per cent - over three-fourths - of coconut sugar is actually sugar, compared with 100 per cent of table sugar. (Nutrients, inulin, and antioxidants constitute coconut sugar's other 22 per cent.)"

Moreover, GI varies from person to person and also depends on how the food is cooked and with what it is eaten. In most cases, the sugar is likely to be mixed or prepared with other ingredients that contain carbohydrates. In terms of calories too, it is equivalent to that of table sugar.
The Verdict: Referring to various research papers and expert opinions, it wouldn't be wrong to say that in comparison to other forms of sugar, it is no doubt a better alternative, just as honey is. But, that definitely doesn't mean that one should over indulge, using heaps of it in beverages, cereals and desserts. The fact is, it is no miracle food and therefore is best when used sparingly.
Still will kena ban. Lol.SUMMARYBrown sugar contains slightly more minerals and marginally fewer calories than white sugar. However, the nutritional differences between the two are insignificant.

Sugar tax, tax instagrammers evade tax... suddenly many channels of revenue.. next will be sodium tax, which has been clinically proven as cause of obesity. Mala Xiang guo, fast food, sausage, ham, processed food, chips and snacks will be in the crosshair in the future. Well, at the very least reduce it for your child.
