It can be! Every year the local community near where I live host a bicycle
race in August, called the "Hotter than Hell 100". My guess is that most of
the participants would perish if they didn't load up on starches, sugar and
fluids. Brown sugar metabolizes differently than white sugar and if your
that concerned substitute honey, nutri sweet or whatever you prefer.
