• Honey enthusiasts have long been proclaiming the health benefits of honey, and as a result, business has been booming in the honey aisles of supermarkets and health food stores. Honey’s appeal is derived from the fact that unlike common table sugar (sucrose), it is a pure natural “nectar” gathered by bees, and therefore must contain wholesome nutrients instead of merely empty
calories. While it’s true that honey is collected by bees, very few people know that bees actually collect the nectar from flowers and regurgitate it, which is a euphemism for vomit. Therefore, it is actually a substance that goes directly from the bees’ guts to yours. Honey has been shown to have no nutritional advantage over common table sugar because the miniscule amounts of B vitamins, iron and phosphorus in honey are nutritionally insignificant. Honey is almost identical to sugar in chemical structure, but because it is denser, honey contains 32% more calories per tablespoon. This does notmean that processed, refined table sugar is
healthy either. There are healthier, natural sugar substitutes such as agave nectar and stevia.
