π―β Tea Series β the episode that challenges everything you thought you knew about honey.
Pure fresh honey from a BC bee farm. Lipton Yellow Label. Peak milk. One teaspoon of the most natural sweetener available. The cleanest fasting baseline of the entire series at 5.1 mmol/L.
30 mins: 6.6 mmol/L π
45 min PEAK: 7.4 mmol/L π¨
Total spike: +2.3 mmol/L π³
The comparison π
π¬ 3 Saint Louis sugar cubes: +1.3 β
π― 1 teaspoon pure honey: +2.3 β οΈ
One teaspoon of honey spiked me almost double what three cubes of refined white sugar did.
Natural does not mean blood sugar friendly. Your pancreas reads glucose β not labels.
Honey has real benefits β antioxidants, antimicrobial properties, other health value white sugar doesn't have. This is not a ban. But if your goal is blood sugar management β watch your portions. Half a teaspoon. Test your own body.
Updated Tea Series leaderboard:
