There is no obvious difference between honey and sugar (brown or white) if it is only for normal nutritional purposes. But for diabetes or diet, the two are by no means the same, because one of them has higher sugar and calorie content than the other.
Brown sugar or white sugar
"In fact, the most common brown sugar is ordinary sugar, which turns brown due to the reintroduction of molasses. Usually, when sugarcane produces sugar, molasses is separated and removed.
Sugar is 100% sucrose, while honey consists of about 75% sugar and 20% to 25% water, and contains a little protein, a little fat and a little fiber, which explains why the "sugar" or kilojoules in honey/when you compare their weight with that of sugar, the calories are higher.
Comparison: 100g sugar has 1700kJ/406 calories, while 100g honey has 1400kJ/334 calories.
So, now you can see that if you stop eating sugar or want to reduce your daily calorie intake because of weight loss or high blood sugar, you will find that honey is not more friendly to you than sugar.
However, honey is a better sweetener than sugar and has other medicinal purposes.
It is also said that brown sugar and honey are completely different. Honey has many characteristics that make it really healthy, while brown sugar is just refined sugar with some molasses added-the negative content is slightly lower than that of white sugar, but it can be ignored. On the other hand, honey can be used to heal wounds. Manuka honey has been clinically proven (that is, scientifically proven) to kill MRSA and heal skin wounds infected by MRSA-this is very important. Eating local honey may help people reduce allergies.
People who try to say equivalence choose to look at the world from the perspective of reductive chemistry. In this process, they analyze matter at a certain level and then call it equivalent. In fact, there are many ingredients in honey that can be predicted by simply analyzing sugar. They ignored these ingredients and called them irrelevant. This is the problem. Western medical and nutritional research ignores micronutrients, which leads to danger.
As mentioned earlier, unfiltered raw honey is available. But I have used filtered and pasteurized honey to cure stubborn wounds, so even this version is healthy.
