Honey and Complex Sugars

I am very much aware of what you are saying and have gas chomatogrpahic
analysis of the sugars in honey in my files. You can also read in the book
that inherent enzymes in honey continue breaking down the bit of sucrose
and other oligosaccharides as the honey stands. Even if the latter were
not so, you simply cannot believe that eating refined glucose and frucose
from corn could possibly be better? And especially since the refined
crystallized corn sugars are really a mixture of short chain
(triscaccharides, tetrasaccharides, etc.) even tho listed as dextrose and
fructose. And don't you think I would have written it in the book if it
were so?
