I am a new vegan and would love some clarity about sugar. For vegans, is cane sugar bad? I know healthy sugars are maple syrup, agave, molasses, but so many item have cane sugar or corn starch. I know to stay away from high fructose corn syrup but am confused otherwise.

Also for whole grains, does that include basmati brown rice? What are other whole grains beside brown rice, quinoa, etc?

Thanks!
