Both sweeteners contain glucose and fructose. However, for sugar, in the process of manufacturing, the organic acids, protein, nitrogen elements, enzymes and vitamins in the sugar cane are destroyed . So honey is healthier.

How many grams of sugar in honey?

Given a generic brand of pure clover honey, there are 16 grams of sugar per tablespoon or 5.3 grams in a teaspoon. This number may vary with different types or brands of honey. According to other sources, there are 4.2 grams of sugar in a teaspoon of white granulated sugar. Although there is slightly more sugar in a teaspoon of honey than there is in a teaspoon of white granulated sugar, some may argue that honey is a better alternative because it is more natural and has more health benefits.


Can honey make you diabetic?

Sugar is sugar. Honey is no better or worse than any other sugar. It may, because of the flavor, entice a person to eat more of it than some other form of sugar. A diabetic must follow the medical advice that the doctor provides and monitor blood sugar concentration as required.


Food adulteration in junk food?

Adulteration of honey from C4 sugar can can occur by blatant addition of cane sugar or corn syrup to honey (called stretching), or by poor beekeeping practises where beekeepers collect honey generated by bees which continue to be sugar fed during the nectar flow. Honey with carbon isotope values less than -23.5 ‰ can be considered to be adulterated with sucrose or corn syrup. Using carbon isotopes, we can determine the quantity of C4 sugar contained in the honey.


How much honey is in honey nut cheerios?

Honey is especially nice on hot cereal. Note that even plain cereals have plenty of sugar in them. Learn to read the ingredient list on all food products. Ingredient lists are written in order of the amount of the ingredient, from the most to the least.


Is brown sugar better for a diabetic person?

It is now recognized that dietary carbohydrate components influence the prevalence and severity of common degenerative diseases such as dental problems, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Fructose and sucrose have been evaluated and compared to glucose using glucose tolerance tests, but few such comparisons have been performed for a "natural" sugar source such as honey. In this study, 33 upper trimester chiropractic students volunteered for oral glucose tolerance testing comparing sucrose, fructose and honey during successive weeks. A 75-gm carbohydrate load in 250 ml of water was ingested and blood sugar readings were taken at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 240 minutes. Fructose showed minimal changes in blood sugar levels, consistent with other studies. Sucrose gave higher blood sugar readings than honey at every measurement, producing significantly (p less than .05) greater glucose intolerance. Honey provided the fewest subjective symptoms of discomfort. Given that honey has a gentler effect on blood sugar levels on a per gram basis, and tastes sweeter than sucrose so that fewer grams would be consumed, it would seem prudent to recommend honey over sucrose.AnswerGenerally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level.Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes. But honey actually has slightly more carbohydrates and more calories per teaspoon than does granulated sugar - so any calories and carbohydrates you save will be minimal.If you prefer the taste of honey, go ahead and use it - but only in moderation. Be sure to count the carbohydrates in honey as part of your diabetes eating plan.
