Honey is fucking delicious. I don't know how good/bad it is for you, but I eat like five teaspoons a day.

as long as you get pure organic honey sure. The cheap stuff you see on the shelves is pretty much just refined sugar.

No, apples are mostly water. Then sugar. Then a bit of acid.

Honey is just pretty much bee vomit made of sugar.

To answer OP: No, honey is NOT the best substitute for refined sugar, nor should anyone try to substitute refined sugar instead of simply reducing it from their diet anyway.

Like most common allergens, overconsumption of honey (and therefore sudden overexposure) can cause you to become allergic to it (and also incidentally beestings). Remember, honey is gathered alongside pollen, from fields of flowering crops that may or may not have been sprayed with various insecticides and fungicides.

It is also notoriously difficult to measure just exactly how much sugar is in a batch of honey, and therefore how much honey you can use to substitute sugar. Generally, because honey seems to taste less sweeter than sugar, people overcompensate. And I seriously dare you to even contemplate baking with honey instead of measured sugar.

If you like the taste of honey, go ahead, a couple tablespoonfuls a day won't kill you. However, it does not have any health benefits (except for maybe manuka honey) and all you're doing is jumping on the holistic health bandwagon.

I remember reading that onions fried in onions had some health benefits, but that was about 8 years ago and it was in a tabloid so probably not the most accurate of advice

Cut sugar from diet. Use Stevia to sweeten something if you must have it sweet.

WIN!

yeah, pretty much everything is. i have eaten large amounts of honey my entire life (lol, beekeeper family) and have never grown either allergic or fat.

It is well known that personal and unique experience is a scientific method to state something about anything.

it's also well known that fructose doesn't illicit an insulin response but what are you gonna do.

the point stands. it might be allergenic for some people, but then so are most things whether it's lactose, fructose, gluten, eggs, seafood etc. unless you have actually proven in the past to be allergic to something, don't even worry about it. this is just the normal neurotic neckbeard bubble-living internet aspergers bullshit.

HONEY AND FRUITZ ARE JUST SUGAR BREAD IS BETTA 4 U COMPLEEEXXX CAAAARRRBBBS
