sucrose is not same as fructose and glucose.

fruit and honey have a lot of other stuff which slows THE SPEED OF ABSORPTION into blood and does not spike insulin in a wild way like sugar.

try eating spoon of sugar and compare the feel with spoon of honey. it is obvious.

Fruit has small amounts of fiber that slightly slow absorption. Honey does not. It has the exact same effect as any other sugar. Rather than "feeling" it, try measuring it.
