Is honey considered good or bad for your body/health?

Question:

I've given up sugar for about 3 months now but I still enjoy sweet tasting foods. I've recently been glazing breaded chicken breast in honey to add sweetness. Is honey considered good or bad for your body I'm trying to bulk and add as much clean mass as possible. I know its better than refined sugar but is it bad for you?

Answers:
i, personally, think honey is one of the best sugar substitutes one could use. of course, not if your diabetic, but raw honey is very very good!

unlike regular sugar, the bees have already pre-digested the honey so you get the full benifit from it!

its good to eat because its said to add good enzymes to your body. a spoonful a day is said to help give one energy if tired, (and can even help prevent you from getting sick) without the "crashing" effects of refined sugars. i personally use honey every day as a facial mask (mixed with aspirin), it is very healing and moisturizing.

honey also can be used to treat and heal burns.

cleopatra herself took honey milk baths.

with that said, never EVER give honey to an infant, wait until they are 2. honey has things in it that adult bodies can break down, but infants cannot, and it can give them an illness that could kill them.

raw honey good ..pasturized honey bad

Well honey is completely made by bee's. I'm pretty sure it doesn't include sodium either. And it doesn't contain any fat, I can't say it's good for you, but I'm guessing it's not that bad either. And it's a great subsitution for sugar!
