Is honey better for your digestion than sugar?

Honey is composed mostly of the simple sugar fructose, whereas table sugar (sucrose) consists of a disaccharide of fructose and glucose. Fructose alone requires no digestion. It enters the glycolytic pathway unchanged. Sucrose requires the lysis on the bond joining the two sugars of which it is composed. Saccharase as it is sometimes called or, technically, sucrase is such an efficient enzyme that there is probably no one walking on the face of the earth who has either a deficiency of this enzyme or a defect in its operation. The question asks which of the two is better for your digestion. I don't know that either honey or table sugar is helpful to the digestion and if one or both are helpful to the digestion, neither do I know by what mechanism the one or the other assists digestion. One thing that is important, however is that both are hypotonic to the medium in which they arrive into the body so that for both an adequate amount of water should be included whenever these are consumed to promote rapid digestion and assimilation.
