Is Turbinado Sugar Bad for You? No matter how natural  or raw  a sugar claims to be, any form of added sugars is unhealthy when you get too much. Added sugars like turbinado sugar have very low (or no) nutritional value.

Turbinado sugar is a less processed option than white sugar that retains small amounts of molasses. However, it does not contribute significant nutritional value and is rather expensive. Though it can be a flavorful ingredient, sweetener, or topping, it's best used in moderation  like all types of sugar.
