I am sorry dear @kavinitu...as I am having different opinion about this ...what ever points you have mentioned here are equally applicable to sugar as it is natural, free of fats,increasing stamina etc. in fact honey can cause a lot of allergies as the bees collect nectar from various flowers available around their hives! there is no evidence how it helps in reducing the body weight1 We have many bee hives on the farm and get several kgs of fresh honey which I always ask my labour to enjoy and I never ever got a single gram for my personal use as I never got convinced abiut the facts , being claimed on the net! By tyhe way are you influenced by Ramdev Baba? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I use very little sugar or honey. The only time I have anything sweet I a little bit of cake now and then. I even enjoy my tea plain with no sweetener.

Honey is the best alternative of sugar. But our food habit should match with our lifestyle. Excessive intake will always do the damage to human body irrespective of any food. Yes every food has vitamins but we need to have a control on it. That will be a healthy goodness for we human.

Honey is healthier, but it also contains a lot of sugar. People should moderate their honey intake, too.

@kavinitu Of course, a table spoon of honey per day is really good. I think it can't be bad or harmful to anyone. I meant that eg. having three teas per day with full of honey can be too much sugar for us.

I take a teaspoon of honey as soon as I wake up in the morning. That's before water. On days when I don't have honey, I take lemon water.

@kavinitu Natural not cultured raw honey should be taken without any mixture and should be placed inside the mouth until in melts. it biomes more effective that away in getting rid of toxins in the body and curing nasal congestions, sinuses, and soar throats.
Lemon infused water need not have honey in it.

The issue is pure honey is expensive but there are substitutes.
I consumed honey that was readily available in supermarkets but that was not pure and resulted in increased sugar levels in my blood. So one has to take care to consume only pure honey - siva
