This is why I roll my eyes at people who talk about how healthy honey is. Like sure it’s better for you than sugar for very minute reasons, but at the end of the day, it’s still sugar. But you know… honey is “natural”. Marketing is a helluva drug.
While many sources of fructose naturally and no reason to think they behave differently than HFCS, high fructose corn syrup to my knowledge uses enzymes to convert glucose to fructose to raise the percentage. (And then re-add corn syrup to adjust the fructose/glucose to a desired ratio)
How much healthier a simple syrup (sugar split into a 50% glucose and 50% fructose) vs a 60/40 fructose/glucose HFCS is very debatable…
Really just hates it when you buy something without sugar/HFCS and find it had artificial sweeteners instead… When I wanted no additional sweeteners. looks at canned fruit in cabinet
The fake sugar garbage has gotten out of hand. I had to start making my own granola because most of the granola had fake sugar in it. I’m glad I did tho. I can make it with whatever I want in it and no one can stop meeeeeee!

I wouldn’t compare Honey with sugar, at least honey has some benefit compared to sugar.

It is just as bad as sugar, but you need less of it since it is sweeter.
Sugar is also natural. 🤷♂️
Technically, even high-fructose corn syrup is natural. It’s just the natural sugar in corn, extracted and concentrated.

Technically, even morphine is natural. It’s just the natural opioid in poppies, extracted and concentrated.
I ferment my honey and it certainly makes me feel good.
