Nowadays many are using honey.some say it's really good for health and good substituent for sugar.even though it is good enough and better when compared to sugar.it is really not so good using it too much.it contains fructose and sugar. so using it less is better. How often you use honey In foods you take?.do you think it is really beneficial one..?.can one replace sugar with honey?.what are the best substitutes for sugar?

I will never replace sugar where I am used to it. I take honey everyday in my milk in the night.

Pure honey is considered better than sugar because sugar is repeatedly treated with a some chemicals. Pure honey is not easily available.

Yes honey is better, however it is not used with hot things, glucose/ saccharose are perhaps for all others.

personally I like both, honey is good, but sugar too .. It is advisable to use brown sugar that is not as harmful as white refined.

Pure hone can be a good substitute to sugar but the problem is where can we find it.Most honeys sold in the markets nowadays are commercially prepared and have little to no honey in them.It's also difficult to recognize real honey than fake ones.

@kareemadivina yeah that's true really.some say to mix up teaspoon honey in a glass of water..if it settled down without dissolving it is pure one..I don't know how far this works.everything is very impure now.

Pure honey is expensive, there are cheaper ones that are adulterated. I stopped using honey when my blood sugar reading went up and I knew honey was the culprit. Yeah, everything in moderation - siva

@Icydoll Though it is under control now, I avoid white sugar. I avoid other sweeteners too. I have to check my blood sugar levels regularly to see whether I need to continue with medication - siva

I think the only reason they advocate honey over white sugar is because of the vitamins and minerals that come with honey which is normally absent in refined sugar. The movement on I QUIT SUGAR recommends Rice Malt Syrup because it doesn't contain fructose which is the culprit for weight gain. But it's not cheap, and end of the day it is still a processed product. General rule, anything processed, is probably not good in the long run. Honey would still be my best pick, or Natural Maple Syrup. Moderation is still key.
