Glucose and Sucrose are not similar. Glucose is easily and readily available for the body's use, with little processing, and can be metabolized quickly energizing the brain directly (brains feed on glucose). The majority of the sugars in Honey are the glucose type and those are 'better' sugars for humans. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I utilize honey instead of sugar wherever possible. I've been doing this for several years now, and there was a definite and definitive corrolation between my A1C levels prior to switching and after switching to Honey.
