'There's an idea that sugar is a pantomime villain and honey is the pantomime hero,' says nutritional therapist Ian Marber. 'It's not accurate. Loading honey onto a bowl of porridge or breakfast cereal isn't much better for our bodies than layering that cereal up with granulated sugar.

“有人认为糖分就像是坏蛋，而蜂蜜像是大英雄。”营养治疗师伊恩·马伯说：“这种观点是不正确的。早上喝粥或麦片时加入蜂蜜和加白砂糖是一样不健康的。”

Honey is also high in calories - more than table sugar. A teaspoon of commercial natural honey contains about 22 calories, a teaspoon of sugar around 16 calories. Many people who swapped honey for sugar found they liberally poured it into yoghurts, herbal teas and the like imagining honey to be superior to other sugars. 'When people think something is low fat, they eat more,' says Ian Marber.

另外，蜂蜜的卡路里含量也高于蔗糖。同样一小茶匙的量，蜂蜜含有22卡路里，而蔗糖含有16卡路里。许多用蜂蜜来替代蔗糖的人会随意地、不计量地在酸奶、凉茶中加入蜂蜜，认为蜂蜜比蔗糖健康得多。伊恩说：“当人们认为某种食物脂肪含量低就会大量食用。”

'Companies use the word 'honey' instead of saying something is 'sweet' because they know it has an implied health benefit,' says Ian Marber.

伊恩还说：“很多生产商都会用‘蜂蜜’这个词来代替‘甜’这个词，因为他们觉得这样会显得更健康。”
