   Honey may not contain sucrose, but it also does not contain any
   fructose.  Honey contains about 85% glucose, at least,
   thats what I remember from biology, whereas sucrose is only 50%.  
   We all know that it is the glucose thats the problem, not sucrose 
   or fructose. 

   So remember boys and girls, a gram of honey is more detrimental than
   a gram of sucrose.
