Anything you eat that is sweet has some form of sugar in it which could be fructose, lactose, glucose, sucrose.

And they all will increase your blood sugar depending on how much you eat. Fruits will increase your blood sugar. Some more than others.

All of our body cells need sugar to survive.

The key to success with food or anything in life is moderation. Never overindulge.

Undiluted honey is natural while sugar is artificial. Natural things are always better than man-made.

Lies from the pit of hell!!!!

Please. Please...diabetics reading this dangerous stuff should not dare touch honey. Honey is packed with fructose. And fructose is sugar and acts in the same way as sugar inthe blood stream.

Here is what Mayo Clinic had to say about honey:

"Generally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level. Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes.
Diabetes foods: Is honey a good substitute for sugar? - Mayo Clinic
www.mayoclinic.org › faq-20058487


Therefore, this is a misleading and dangerous thread. No wonder most Nigerians die of ignorance and preventable diseases.


The best subtitute to sugar in the world today with zero calories is STEVIA

First point is a Lie.
dammy13:
Sugar came in the middle of the night, chased away honey and became king in the morning. A classic case of usurpation. Today, it is so many people can’t do without sugar. In their morning tea, they must add several cubes of sugar.

Regardless, no matter how widely spread the use of sugar, the fact remains that it is a sweetener that cannot be compared to any other. Hence, the recommendation that you should always take sugar rather than honey.

Honey features sugar, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and amino acid. If you have not been taking honey, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares the health benefits of taking honey. Expectedly, this will encourage taking honey more often.

Regulate blood sugar
Honey contains fructose and glucose that are needed to balance your blood sugar levels. So, the honey you take the better for your health and blood sugar. Importantly, there is no amount of honey you take that will raise your blood sugar level.

Better exercise performance
Taking honey before an exercise will ensure that you perform optimally during your workout sessions and you don’t tire out easily. At the same, if you take it at the end, you heart speed will slow down quicker and you will feel better.

Perfect for wounds and burns
This is why it is advisable for you to have honey at home. When you apply honey to an external wound and burns, it makes it dry quickly. When next you have a wound or burn, use honey for treatment.

Deal with a cough and throat irritations
Honey can also help in dealing with a cough and throat irritation. It works like magic. Few spoons of sugar can reduce or clear these annoying irritations.

Check cancer and heart disease
Like they say, prevention is better than cure. To prevent or minimise the risk of cancer, you should take honey regularly because it contains antioxidants that cushion the effects of these terminal diseases.

Lessen the risks of stomach ulcers
It is also possible to use honey to limit the risks of stomach ulcer and other bacterial stomach flu.

Although sugar is bad for you and honey is better, too much honey IS BAD for you.

Please stop misinforming the public!!!

(2) Increases Blood Sugar Level In Our Body

Honey is not so good for people suffering from diabetics because of the high amount of sugar present in it. Honey doesn’t contain any fiber which means Consuming honey can increase the blood sugar level of a person because the sugar present in honey get absorbed by our blood more quickly in comparison to sugar with fiber. So, if you have diabetes or if you are suffering from low blood sugar condition then you should be cautious while eating honey because the sweetness and chemical composition of honey are same as table sugar which means one should follow the same precaution while consuming honey as if he is consuming regular sugar. The maximum recommended dosage of all sugars ( whether it is from sugar, honey or processed foods) is ten tablespoons per day which mean you should watch your sugar and make sure that you are not getting more than ten tablespoons of sugar per day ( from all sources combined).

http://goodhealthall.com/risks-and-side-effects-of-eating-too-much-honey/







Honey Should Be Consumed Only in Moderation

Honey has many healthy attributes, but it is also high in fructose, averaging around 53 percent. Each teaspoon of honey has nearly four grams of fructose, which means it can exacerbate pre-existing insulin resistance and wreak havoc on your body if consumed in excess. So when consuming honey, carefully add the total grams of fructose (including fruits) that you consume each day, and stay below 25 grams of total fructose per day.

I've been in the honey biz for years. Ants will go for anything sweet even honey in the beehives if not for 'soldier bees' that protect the colony. Also original honey will freeze if exposed to a level of high temperature for a long time. So, to all lovers of honey and those who care about their health, I always tell people to know the source of their honey which is the best way to be sure. Some terrible people mix honey wt "anything"...be warned!!!
