Other good alternatives to refined sugar are honey, real maple syrup, and molasses. Full of antioxidants and some nutrients, especially the molasses. I think molasses are delicious. I even put it in my coffee.
But remember, sugar is sugar. The calories are pretty close to one another, it's the stuff that isn't removed that's different.
