Default Different sugars in fermentation health

This discussion below was sent to me. (Starting from the bottom up).
Person A is saying it does not matter what sugar is used at the beginning of
a brewing process from a health point of view, whilst person B says it
'does' matter. Grateful if the wise minds here can throw some light on this
debate. Thanks.

B. There is simple sugar and complex sugar, the second is processed in a
different way and also includes various nutriments beneficial to the
organism.


A. Surely all sugar is finally processed to the same end product when
consumed within the human body? Sugar is converted into alcohol via a
brewing process which has fourteen distinct stages. What type of sugar used
at the beginning of this brewing process no longer exists, and so from a
health point of view is not significant, whether white refined sugar, grape
juice or malt.


B. Yes, obviously. Alcohol is fermented sugar, but *quality* alcohol is
made from malt or fruit (usually grape) juice, not refined white sugar which
is toxic (empty calories without nutritional value).

A. Are not all beers made from sugar? i.e. Malt ?
