Honey is a mix of natural sugars (80%), water (18%) and minerals, vitamins, pollen, protein and amino acids (2%). Around 70% of honey's natural sugar content is made up of fructose and glucose. Raw honey has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogens in food and food spoilage organisms.
They also add an enzyme to the nectar which catalyzes the breakdown of the sucrose into glucose and fructose. Fructose is perceived by our taste buds as very sweet, more so than glucose or sucrose. Honey, gram for gram or calorie for calorie, tastes much sweeter than any other sugar. Which is why it makes a great substitution for sugar in baking, cooking and as a drink sweetener. Does honey have any health benefits? Yes! Honey is more than just a sweetener! There are many health benefits of honey and it has a long history of use as a medicine.. Eating honey has a stabilizing effect on our body's blood sugar levels and does not stimulate as rapid insulin production as sucrose (table sugar) or glucose. Honey has an antibacterial effect and inhibits the growth of many bacteria strains, including the bacteria responsible for ulcers.
