Yeah, I can see that. For those people cane sugar would be healthier.
For the rest of us there's not a lot of difference.

Also, beet sugar is cheaper. You'll see it around here in jellies and jams
places where local women are selling their products.

Not everywhere. I've never seen it for sale here -- why should it be,
when cane from Australia and Fiji is cheaper.

I was talking in terms of health benefits, though.

Makes sense. If it's what's available locally then it's what'll get
used.
