I severely doubt that even after a year honey's still got enzymes in it to any great degree. And it's hella fructose.
Discussion
It's possible to over think these things. I've seen every diet theory come and go and sooner or later some new information comes along to counter them all. The only thing that's remained consistent and beyond dispute the whole time is quality.
humans can eat sugars so they can build up a fat layer. It's a fallback mechanism for when real food is hard to find.
Has there been any studies on eating sugar before a work out and how that may improve or decrease function, mental resilience, etc during high physical intensity?
