Honey does NOT contain sucrose, despite what you say.  Or do you maintain
that the body reacts identically to ALL different sugars?  What is the
basis for this belief?  I do agree, however, that the refinement of sucrose
is not the issue.  Raw cane sugar is just as useless and potentially harmful
as when purified.
