People believe honey is more "wholesome" even though it's pretty much sugar isolate like any refined sugar. If you want it to actually be healthier, you can sweeten with dates or other fruit. You can buy "date sugar" which is dried and ground dates. It's expensive.

why is date sugar better than corn sugar or beet sugar or cane sugar or honey?

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but it sounds like it's unrefined since he described it as "dried and ground dates".
That would mean you get additional flavor rather than the pure "sweet" you get from refined white sugar. Depending on what you're doing that could be a good thing.
I use white sugar for baking purposes but for just about everything else I use unrefined sugars like honey. molasses, palm sugar, or jaggery. Those have more taste than just plain white sugar does. I find that I end up using less of it than I would white sugar so that helps too.

yeah, kinda like what you're doing with fruit
>>7534834
It's the whole date, so it has fiber and other substances that slow sugar absorption, and all the other nutrients present in fruit.

Not really. A piece of fruit is nutritious. Grinding it doesn't remove anything other than heat sensitive enzymes. It may spike blood sugar a little more compared to chewed dates.

Almond milk is legit. It's been enjoyed since medieval times, when it was a common ingredient in soups and such. But it's weird to pay for it to be shipped long distance if you own a blender.

>>take glucose from corn
Then why is it called high FRUCTOSE corn syrup?
>>7537245
corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup are two different things.
