How can refined sugar be a horror show when 99% of honey, maple syrup, mollasses, and sorghum is sugar?

not all "sugar" is the same. honey/molasses have nutrients that help metabolize fructose/glucose alongside; HFCS doesn't.

Yes, but is their 1% of unique nutrients enough to offset their 99% sugar?

If sugar is so bad, then why not refine our the 1% of unique nutrients, eliminating the sugar?

Because 150g per day of them would kill you.

Conversely, why bother with nutritious sweeteners at all when we can have industrial 100% pure sugar all the time?

I consume 400g+ of sugar, in various forms a day, and am perfectly insulin sensitive.

I eat a variety of sugars for taste, enjoyment, and because they hve slightly different benefits.

Precisely why I prefer animals (sometimes with sugar in them 😏). Taste & benefits. 🤝
