honey is made up from different types of sugars -- depending upon plant
sources ---   nectars --- where  would anyone in his right mind think that
honey does not contain sugar????-- I can understand white refined sugar --
but chemically some simple organic chemistry will show that   there are
different types of  "sugars" - glucose - fructose - galactose -- all are
six carbon sugars  C6-H12-O6 with different molecular structures- - and
many more types of sugar  - three carbon - - 5 carbon - well before I get
too carried away --  depending upon nectary source -- honey is sugar with
different molecular structure --- many diabetics cannot tolerate honey -
sugars derived from nectar - depending upon plant environment will vary---
sorry I'll get off my band wagon... but do not be fooled into thinking
honey does not have sugar in it.....
