Better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar

When it comes to blood sugar management, honey may offer some slight benefits over regular sugar.

Although honey raises your blood sugar level just like other types of sugar do, the antioxidants it contains may help protect against metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have found that honey may increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone that reduces inflammation and improves blood sugar regulation

There’s also some evidence that daily honey intake may improve fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes

However, while honey may be slightly better than refined sugar for people with diabetes, it should still be consumed in moderation

It’s also important to know that certain types of honey could be diluted with plain syrup. Although honey adulteration is illegal in most countries, it remains a widespread problem
