Honey is better for you than corn syrup

If you had a granola bar that was made with high-fructose corn syrup, and then had another that was made with honey, you might think that the second bar was healthier. Fair, but not true. The sugar within both products is actually the same. Professor Alan Levinovitz states that “Scientists would be surprised to hear about the ‘clear superiority’ of honey, since there is a near unanimous consensus that the biological effect of high-fructose corn syrup are essentially the same as those of honey.” It’s the amount of sugar within the product that makes the real difference, not the source of it.
