Is honey really healthier than sugar? Let’s ask a scientist...

Honey is made mostly of sugar – so is it really healthier? 

Yes. According to nutrition scientist Dr. Keith Kantor, honey is healthier because it’s more complex. Our bodies have to work a little harder to break honey down which means we’re using more energy and accumulating fewer calories than with sugar. There are also trace elements of other nutrients like zinc and vitamins in real honey. Because honey doesn’t contain additives and preservatives, it’s the nutritionally sweeter choice.
