Sugar and honey are both sweeteners - the only thing that makes honey better is its natural composition. While sugar is made up of glucose and fructose (50-50 ratio), honey is also made up of sugar but contains only 30% glucose and a little less than 40% fructose. It also contains several other types of sugar molecules, which take longer to digest by the body and do not always get stored up as fat. This means this is comparatively healthier.

Pure, organic honey also contains zero preservatives and additives, which is another risk factor when you consume processed sugar.

Apart from that, honey also comes loaded with a lot of health benefits - from acting as a natural immunity booster, supplying nutrients and trace minerals, including amino acids, minerals, and antioxidants.
