The sugar bought at any grocery store is either beet or cane in origin, good that it is not adulterated. What they could be selling is that a great many popular brands use corn syrup as the sweetner, which has some suspecting it as promoting some chronic disorders when consumed in large amounts and promoting weight gain because it doesn't signal energy intake as do other foods to control appetite.

I recently bought a soft drink at Whole Foods that is made of pure cane sugar. Does that mean it is better for one than regular soda or is it just a marketing ploy?
Thanks for clarifying. I'm not sure if "pure cane sugar" mean that it is unrefined?

It is fully refined, which source is cane, nothing more or less then that. Less refined sugar is often called "brown" because some of the molasses remains.
"Brown" sugar is typically white refined sugar with some of the molasses added back into it. If it isn't refined it will rot, being plant matter.

Since sugar is a preservative, I would submit that unrefined sugar would be somewhat resistant to "rot".
