Fruits and honey do not have complex sugars. They have simple sugars like fructose, glucose and maltose. Fructose doesn't spike your insulin as much, but it's also 50% of table sugar. So honey is chemically almost the same as diluted sugar.
Most of the nurtients in honey is small bee pieces. The rest of it is sugars and water.
