Honey Please

Hunter-gatherers rarely consumed simple sugars, but when they did it was usually in the form of honey.  Now some new studies are showing the health benefits of honey.

This study shows that honey has antioxidant properties and recommends honey as a substitute for sugar or artificial sweetners.  It also mentions that darker-colored honey provides more antioxidants that lighter-colored honey.

This site is a more general website on the benefits of honey.  It also looks at honey from a historical perspective, mentioning how it was often used for medicinal purposes in older times. 

And my favorite link shows that even though honey is high in sugar, it may actually help prevent cavities.  Wow!
