Regular brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added back in... I didn't follow your link, but I suspect that is what it says.

No, that's not right at all. Regular brown sugar is produced as a by-product during sugar refining. What you're describing is a commercial, made to look like brown sugar, by adding molasses and caramel coloring to refined sugar. It's an abomination.

True brown sugar is derived from the sugar mother liquor, which is a far more interesting substance than most people can appreciate.
