What it is
Real sugar — the kind your ancestors had to outwit bees for, a few times a year.
Why your biology objects
Roughly balanced glucose and fructose (~1.2:1) — sugar in the proportion your biology evolved to take it, where glucose escorts the fructose and little reaches the liver as free overload. The Hadza prize honey above nearly any food and eat it in volume when they find it; seasonality made it rare, not suboptimal. The case against honey is dose and frequency — a daily squeeze bottle — not the molecule.
