sugar rush

Today for snack, I ate a Hawaiian Chef energy bar that I picked up at the farmer's market last weekend. No refined sugar, I promise! It did have organic honey, but otherwise was puffed rice, oats, a couple of seeds, and dried fruit

I don't think honey is any more virtuous than refined sugars (although I oppose corn syrup for many reasons), at least in terms of glycemic effects.

completely agree. The point is to avoid refined sugars, but there's an obvious loophole if I just load up on honey.

Mmm, honey!

I've been eating some great honey lately. We hosted a couple of couchsurfers making their way from Lawrence, KS to Frisco, and they gave us a bottle of honey from their family's bee farm.

I haven't used syrup since I got that bottle of honey.
