Course it isn't
your body runs on glucose and other simple sugars. it needs to extract glucose from whatever it is given. Refined white sugar is no better or worse for you than any other thing you could eat as a fuel. Sucrose (white refined sugar) is a dimer of glucose and fructose. Arguably it is THE best fuel short of eating glucose, which doesn't taste very nice.

Complex carbs are only better for you because they take a while to break down so they don't spike your blood sugar so much. At the end of the day it's simply an energy balance whatever form you take your sugar in.

And eating refined sugar or not has not the tiniest effect on any form of cancer, believe me.
