It's quite possible that switching to honey, which is often (though not always) higher in fructose than table sugar & corn syrup, reduces total glycemic load without the downsides of the non-caloric sweeteners.
However, the fructose has to be processed by your liver, just like alcohol. And too much can lead to fatty liver disease, just like alcohol, and all of the problems that come from that. So eliminating sweeteners in general (if you already have metabolic disorder) is going to be a better choice than switching from one to another.
