Some people believe that because honey is a natural food, it is nutritious or, at least more nutritious than sugar. A look at their chemical structures reveals the
truth. Honey, like table sugar, contains glucose and fructose. The primary difference is that in table sugar, the two monosaccharides are bonded together as a disaccharide, whereas in honey, some of them are free. Whether a person eats monosaccharides individually, as in honey, or linked together, as in table sugar, they end up the same way in the body: as glucose and fructose.
Honey does contain a few vitamins and minerals, but not many. Honey is denser than crystalline sugar, too, so it provides more energy per spoonful.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K can be obtained from a nonfood source. Bacteria in the GI tract synthesize vitamin K that the body can absorb. Vitamin K acts primarily in blood clotting, where its presence can make the difference between life and death.

Blood has a remarkable ability to remain liquid, but it can turn solid within seconds when the integrity of that system is disturbed. (If blood did not clot, a single pinprick could drain the entire body of all its blood.)
