ooocccon How the Brain Uses Glucose to Fuel Self-Control

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.

no, honey is fructose and glucose separate.

sugar is sucrose - glucose and fructose in a very high energy bond.

apart that honey has a lot of other stuff(bee saliva, pollen) which make the SPEED of absorbtion wayyyyyyyyyyyy different

it is good to eat honey or fruit fro your sugar, not table sugar, as table sugar(white death) gets in your blood very quick causing insulin spike, which is bad and bad only, unless you completely deprived of energy like in long distance race.

this stupid sensationalist articles designed to glorify consumption of junk food are just pathetic and should not be on top of hacker news...
