Process sugar is almost as bad for you as Corn syrup.
There is no such thing. Sugar is sugar, and it is exactly as bad for you as corn syrup. Sugar is either in short chains (where we call it "sugar") or in long chains (in which case it is called "starch")
molasses?
The sweetness from molasses comes from the sugar contained inside it.
I agree too much sugar in any way is bad for you.
Unrefined brown sugar undergoes less processing than white sugar, allowing it to retain some of its molasses content and natural brown color. Molasses is what you get before the refinement and crystallization with animal bones, then you get the processed white sugar. You can turn white sugar back to brown sugar by adding molasses. Neither is healthy in large amounts. Brown sugar gas slightly more minerals.
Corn syrup is easier to consume.
Disolve equal quantities of sugar and corn syrup in a drink. You will get sated of the sugar version faster than then corn syrup version.
