Interesting analysis. I drink hot water with Manuka honey. It makes me sleepy. Although I have to say that this experiment is somewhat inconclusive IMO. Insufficient data to make such hard claims. These tests should be done in conjunction with other parts of the world to see the true comparison and the observation. Sometimes, people in stress tend to eat more.

> It makes me sleepy. A sudden blood glucose spike can do that. Source: Being a type 1 diabetic. Drawing conclusions from just eating/drinking is however a bit optimistic since many variables are at play.

honey is not as beneficial as whole raw fruits, because thy lack the most important thing - that bees can't carry or even need - but that primates guts love and need: fiber

        For so called "rationalists" they sure seem to love bringing up this frankly moronic idea that "processing" is the same whether it's a factory with bleach and other chemicals or a person at home dicing fruits. Is it because the leader of the movement is a fat slob?

        This article is the opposite of Science and experimentation (experimenting diets on oneself) Maybe you're just sarcastic with calling it processed sugar because of dicing (and omitting apple's fiber, vitamins, amino-acids, minerals, enzymes and more)? "Croissant diet" Croissant is actually the least nutritive food possible https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7498104/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7498104/, You'd get issues eating that. I actually experimented something similar (white bread almost only for 2 years), started to have mental issues Saturated fat is not specially an issue (it would maybe have prevented mental issues in my case, brain needs fat, croissant richer in sat fat than white bread, but I dislike butter), I don't know how you derived from processed sugar to saturated fat, many natural food contain small amount of saturated fat

      I think we can probably get fiber from other sources than our morning tea.

The placebo/nocebo effect of drinking a sweet tea will most likely overshadow any physiological effect by a large margin.
