Please explain the health benefits of consuming pure sugar.
take a look sir. You don't have to put gobs of it on either, just a dash.
WHFoods: Honey
Raw Honey - An Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal Substance
The health benefits of honey - like all foods - depend on the quality of the honey. But in this case, the situation is even more extreme, because the pollen that collects on the bees' legs as they move from plant to plant is only as healthful and as diverse as those plants. In addition, the processing of honey often removes many of the phytonutrients found in raw honey as it exists in the hive. Raw honey, for example, contains small amounts of the same resins found in propolis. Propolis, sometimes called "bee glue," is actually a complex mixture of resins and other substances that honeybees use to seal the hive and make it safe from bacteria and other micro-organisms. Honeybees make propolis by combining plant resins with their own secretions. However, substances like road tar have also been found in propolis. Bee keepers sometimes use special screens around the inside of the hive boxes to trap propolis, since bees will spread this substance around the honeycomb and seal cracks with the anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal resins. The resins found in propolis only represent a small part of the phytonutrients found in propolis and honey, however. Other phytonutrients found both in honey and propolis have been shown to posssess cancer-preventing and anti-tumor properties. These substances include caffeic acid methyl caffeate, phenylethyl caffeate, and phenylethyl dimethylcaffeate. Researchers have discovered that these substances prevent colon cancer in animals by shutting down activity of two enzymes, phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and lipoxygenase. When raw honey is extensively processed and heated, the benefits of these phytonutrients are largely eliminated.
Sounds like a lot of unsubstantiated stuff to me. Also, there's no indication that the small benefit you'd get from these trace amounts of phytonutrients are worth consuming pure sugar. This is if we assume that people are consuming the raw honey which I'm sure 90%+ of people are not.
I can say for sure that is some total bullshit. lol I can name over a 100 girls that would disprove this theory. lolwiki said:In studies of interpersonal attraction, the more often a person is seen by someone, the more pleasing and likeable that person appears to be.
How can you say it's unsubstantiated? It has been studied thoroughly. I think you are just mainly against it because of the sugar content.
Please see links.

Not to throw fuel on the fire...
Fructose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

... go turbozed lol
Perhaps not compared to the other crap people take in. In all fairness, you did say...Well I don't think fructose in high levels is good for any diet. But a small amount in your tea won't hurt.
... and the argument is not about whether or not it's not going to hurt, but about it's health benefits.honey for sure. Great health benefits.
Basing this opinion on what? This theory you have is the equivalent of saying; I smoke cigarettes, but I eat really healthy so my food will outweigh any negative effects the cigarettes have on my body.The health effects of the green tea will surely override any potential damage from a few drops of honey.

I understand that they are really not comparable. I'm just exercising the idea that it's okay to eat something bad for you, because you eat healthy as well. An apple does not cover up the negative sides of a cheese burger. You know what I mean?
The green tea will not play a combative role against the honey. If you have something that is considered unhealthy once in a while it will not have near the effect based on the fact that you eat healthy 99% of the time. But you cannot say that I'm going to eat this big mac and then an apple to outweigh any negative characteristics of the big mac.
What?? Or you could just man up, and do what you need to do. Either way it's not my body, so do as you wish.Shit, it eating one big mac encourages someone to eat 10-12 servings of veggies a day, I think it's worth it if they wouldn't eat that much otherwise.
