"The sweetest thing in the world, apart from a mother's love and a girlfriend's kiss, the third is honey!"
Honey is very sweet, containing about 35% glucose, 5% sucrose, and 40% fructose.
Glucose has a glycemic index of 100 and sucrose has a glycemic index of 85. These two sugars are high glycemic index sugars.
Glucose can directly enter the blood without being digested, while sucrose is easily digested and absorbed, and the two sugars have a great impact on blood sugar.
Fructose has a low glycemic index of only 23, fructose was once recommended as a "healthy sugar" for diabetics.
However, new research has found that after fructose enters the bloodstream, it is rapidly transported to the liver, where it is synthesized into fat.
This effect on the rapid absorption of fructose and the production of fat is very detrimental to the health of diabetic patients.
