2. A natural and healthy source of energy
Sugars are known to be our main source of energy; they are small molecules that burn fast and easily, quickly releasing energy for the cells of our body to use for a variety of purposes. However, taking too much sugar is also known to be harmful to our health. Glucose is the most common type of sugar in the world, as well as by far the most frequent sugary additive of processed foods that we eat, especially in industrialized countries.
An excessive intake of sugar can cause us to gain weight, because we take more calories than we burn, and our fat (our secondary source of energy) starts piling up in our tissues since it is not needed. Also, high blood sugar levels are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, the type of sugar found in honey is healthier than glucose, so honey is a great sweetener with reduced risk to your health.
