    Honey is refined sugar. Just because a bee did the refining doesn’t make it any healthier than Fritolay doing it

        Except oir brains aren’t wired to consume kess if something. Sugar is great if you are an animal or a hunter gather bevause it is calorie rich while taking little effort to harvest (once you fogure out how to deal with the bees). Calorie dense is great when you dont know ehen your next meal is coming, but in out modern society it means health problems.

        And i love honey, but your body doesn’t see any difference between a spoonful of honey, molasses, agave, maple syrup, or high fructose corn syrup. They are all just a concentrated dose of sugar.

      Honey is filled with nutrients and antioxidants. Refined sugar is filled with refined sugar.

        The amount of nutrients and antioxidants you’re getting in the amount of honey you consume is negligible at best. It’s a spoon full of calories.
