They put one molecule of Honey and the rest POISON.
I was rather curious about the sugar content of honey, and so looked it up. Be prepared to be very scared...

...or more likely amused

HFCS - high fructose corn syrup contains 55% fructose and 45% glucose.

Sucrose - ordinary table sugar, contains 50% fructose and 50% glucose.

Honey, that pure natural allegedly really good for you product contains 38% fructose and 31% glucose (the rest is water and other sugars such as maltose).

Amusingly the ratio of fructose to glucose in honey works out to be 55% fructose to 45% glucose.

Doesn't this ratio sound rather familiar?

I can see it now...

Liptons tea with a new wonder ingredient....

High Fructose Honey Syrup

sugar is sugar is sugar...

your body really can't tell the difference between fructose derived in a shiny factory from mashed up sweetcorn, and fructose harvested by hive insects from flower pollen.

honestly, it really can't.
