What is white sugar?
White sugar which we buy in stores is a refined sugar. This means that it has been extracted from sugar cane plants or sugar beets and processed into crystals, whilst natural sugars are those found in food such as fruit and some dairy products. Also known as granulated sugar, white sugar is generally used to sweeten hot beverages or in baking.
Statistics Canada collects prices for food, household supply and personal care items from food supermarkets and drugstores, prices for cigarettes from supermarkets, department stores, drug stores and tobacco shops, and prices for regular, unleaded gasoline from gas stations.
