I don't usually worry to much about what kind of sugar I use. I just try not to use very much sugar. I have met lots of people who use brown sugar, or honey, or some other variant of sugar and think that because it isn't white sugar, they can eat as much of it as they want.
Sure, I have honey, brown sugar, and molasses, but they have different flavours and different uses. As far as I am concerned, they are all sugar. I would certainly buy coconut sugar for a recipe that calls for it, since it has a different flavour.
I have some organic sugar for vegetarian friends. Most white sugar is filtered through charred bones, so many vegetarians won't eat it. Some brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added back. I am seriously considering switching all my white sugar to organic. If I can find organic Fair Trade sugar, the switch will come sooner.
