Honey

>>41694053
much better for you than comparable foods like jelly or jam. but its not really "good" for you

>>41694106

Definitely not as good as jam, jam atleast has the antioxidants of the fruit it's made with

Honey is fructose syrup. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's healthy. It's a processed food-- processed by bees.

Isn't jam boiled though?

>>41694053
Literally bee vomit.

>>41694053
literally worse than white sugar
and white sugar is pretty much poison

Refined sugar isn't a health food but isn't unhealthy either. Honey isn't substantially different from other refined caloric sweeteners, with the exception of sugar beet syrup made from whole sugar beets.

Jam is 80% sugar and 20% fruit boiled with water
With that same generic stale taste carried on regardless of the fruit used

Yeah in pasteurization, but jam is usually made with very antioxidant dense berries and also keeps the fiber so it doesn't remove all the benefit. The polyphenols in the fruit help slow the digestion of the added sugars in the jam.

My dad fell the "honey is good for you" meme and would eat a jar a day and caught the beetus.

There are no benefits to "slowing" and "delaying" the absorption of glucose. That kind of language in the study is editorializing. If anything, the evidence we have indicates that delayed absorption is associated with obesity and diabetes (see research on salivary amylase genetics - the faster people digest starch into glucose the thinner they tend to be)

He probably also consumed water during that time period so therefore water causes diabetes and also causes you to be a father

Of course there as. As they found in their study

>In comparison with sucrose alone, ingestion of sucrose with whole berries resulted in reduced glucose and insulin concentrations during the first 30 min and a slower decline during the second hour and a significantly improved glycemic profile. Berries prevented the sucrose-induced late postprandial hypoglycemic response and the compensatory free fatty acid rebound.

Those are not benefits, that's the point. Calling it an "improved" glycemic profile is editorializing, personal opinion and not based on any science, since there is no reference as to why one "profile" would be preferable to another (the "profile" isn't even quantified adequately). The authors probably bought into the GI pseudoscience so that's where the nonsense is coming from. Having glucose and insulin in the blood is not unhealthy, it's just a normal part of metabolizing food.

There's a limit to how much of either you want in your blood at any one time. Normalized blood sugar and insulin levels and a lack of FFAs after the meal is an objective improvement.
