>table sugar(white death)

Why post garbage like that?

>gets in your blood very quick causing insulin spike

Just like honey and fruit and candy do.

>which is bad and bad only

There is no evidence to support that claim. The demonization of "insulin spikes" is for selling a fad diet. It is not based on science.

sucrose is not same as fructose and glucose.

fruit and honey have a lot of other stuff which slows THE SPEED OF ABSORPTION into blood and does not spike insulin in a wild way like sugar.

try eating spoon of sugar and compare the feel with spoon of honey. it is obvious.

Fruit has small amounts of fiber that slightly slow absorption. Honey does not. It has the exact same effect as any other sugar. Rather than "feeling" it, try measuring it.
