If you believe adding honey to your food is meaningfully different than white sugar from a metabolic perspective, I have a bridge to sell you.


Actually there are (minor) meaningful health considerations to be made between sweeteners like sugar and honey.

>Honey has a lower glycemic index (GI) than sugar, too. The glycemic index measures how quickly a carbohydrate raises blood sugar levels. Honey has a GI score of 58, and sugar has a GI value of 60. That means honey (like all carbohydrates) raises blood sugar quickly, but not quite as fast as sugar.

So not game changing, but if you have to make a choice one is likely a little better

Read what I wrote carefully. I was not interested in 0 sugar. Only zero added sugars. I don't add honey to everything, besides.


It is arguably worse if fructose actually turns out to be the issue.
