- Drakim 14y agoIs it really? I understand that honey and syrup isn't as bad as pure white sugar, but is it really something that is "good"?
- superflit 14y ago@drakim Yes IT is waaaayy better... (of course keep sane proportions) you can check several papers at pubmed. one here [1] [1] = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21310307 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21310307

- mertd 14y agoQuoting the conclusion of the linked abstract: "These results suggest that in comparison with sucrose, honey may reduce weight gain and adiposity, presumably due to lower food intake," It seems like the rats on honey diet just ate less. I don't think this transfers to the honey as sweetener use case, where you'd use about the same amount of sugar compounds to reach desired sweetness level of the beverage.
