Who is Chrisisms?

Was about to ask if you'd heard of stevia, but then you described it at the end of the video.

Probably a little.
Honey has a bit more sweetness for a given amount of calories, as compared to sugar, so it takes slightly less to sweeten food with it. That's a small plus. You can still blow your blood sugar sky-high with it, though.
Honey may also contain useful nutrients which are lacking in refined sugar, but I'm none too certain of that. It's hard to find credible science supporting the notion.
I use honey sparingly in my own diet.

Is honey a healthier alternative?

I can't tolerate any amount of sugar, I've discovered. I just can't think clearly if I do.
Even molasses messes me up.
A very good book on the subject is "Sugar Blues". It's quite old but still as relevant as ever.
After reading that I realised it's no better than heroin or cocaine.

It's worth pointing out that the line between food and drugs is a blurry one.
Both affect physiological processes. Both have psychoactive effects. Addictivity doesn't draw a line for us; some drugs aren't, and some foods are.
Sugar surely is addictive. Once your intake is high, it's devilishly difficult to quit.
Thanks for your comment, capricious71.

Take water for example, if you take out the oxygen its just hydrogen, it tastes foul, and no one would buy it.
Hey, those chocolate companies have been putting unhealthy cocoa in their chocolate too! Take that away, and its nasty, no sensible person would buy it!
