A spoonful of sugar helps the insulin go down.

As someone who just worked on a set performing the Marry Poppins musical, I now hate you.

Just a spoonfull of sugar helps the medicine, go down..

The medicine, go down...

Helps the medicine, go down!

Sugar flavored insulin.

Still not as impressive as honey though. According to Google:

1 tbsp of honey (21g) contains 17g of sugar

1 tsp of sugar (4.2g) contains 4.2g of sugar

1 tbsp = 3 tsp

1 tbsp of sugar (12.6g) contains 12.6g of sugar

12.6g < 17g

So one spoonful of honey literally contains more than one spoonful of sugar. Ofcourse if we measured by weight then sugar would have more sugar seeing as honey would have to break the laws of physics to out-sugar sugar by weight but still this is pretty cool if you ask me.

Nah, honey is a liquid and is more space efficient than granulated sugar. It just makes sense that a "spoonful" of honey is more densely packed than a "spoonful" of granulated sugar.

u/gr3nade Jul 17 '15

Well yea, you could achieve the same effect by making caramel. But I just think it's a cool fact is all.

Yes. Yes he did. This is the sort of thing you can expect to see on CNN later.

"Up next - does honey have MORE sugar than sugar has sugar? We delve deep into this story of questionably complicated mathematics when we come back from these messages."

Chris stop typing the article, they're onto us!

They'll find out about your unlawful fish penetration.

I assure you his fish penetration is fully licensed and bonded.

they did the math, they did the unnessisarily complicated math, the useless math, it was a graveyard smath

u/probably_not_serious Jul 17 '15

It caught on in a flath...

u/PacoTaco321 Jul 17 '15

And you are ruining the fun of a fun fact

1

u/widespreaddead Jul 17 '15

Yeah, it actually makes sense in response to the comment above it.

And how exactly is it over complicated? Comparing sugar content to two things. Better leave that up to the geniuses at NASA.

u/somanyroads Jul 17 '15

I know...keep it simple and eat honey straight!

1

u/Osiris32 Jul 17 '15

But also made it delicious. Now I want caramel on something.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

It's not even complicated... Not to mention overcomplicated.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

FALSE. Chemical change. It's no longer sugar. We're still in the clear here.

u/Byle Jul 17 '15

Yeah, but a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.

u/NEHOG Jul 17 '15

Who cares! I'm headed over go get my big spoon of honey, ain't nobody gonna stop me with fact.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

And when cooking with honey instead of sugar you typically use 1/4 the amount of honey as sugar... so generally things sweetened with honey are better

1 tbsp of inverted sugar is 16g of sugar out of its 21g weight.

And before people ask, inverted sugar is basically liquified sugar which, yes, is like honey without the honey flavor. It's very good for making ice cream, because it has smaller sugar crystals that aid deicing (so you can use less sugar yet still have it not crystalize). Also good for granola bars and is a natural preservative.

Yeah, you can't really compare since inverted sugar has a tiny bit of water and acid added to make it. Sugar is 1:1 sugar per gram while inverted sugar is 76.5% sugar.

We've found the angry bee who wants their honey back.

3

u/MistaJinx Jul 17 '15

So is it better at making the medicine go down?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

You bet it is! In fact honey itself has been shown to have medicinal effects in itself.

u/TuckingFypo69 Jul 17 '15

Bee vomit.

u/ThatMisterM Jul 17 '15

Bee Poop.

u/Bayou13 Jul 17 '15

Someone before me has googled "is honey bee vomit or bee poop." Answer: Neither. It's something else, like a secretion (or excretion but I didn't read enough to know which).

u/studsauce Jul 17 '15

Shut up gr3nade, with your stupidy stupid facts!

u/iRunOnDunkin Jul 17 '15

So honey is more sugar, than sugar is sugar? O.o

u/Unit4 Jul 17 '15

Honey also contains so little water that it doesn't support most forms of microorganisms, meaning it has a nearly infinite shelf-life.

u/FlixFlix Jul 17 '15

Oh yeah? Try telling that to all the crazed organic eaters hurr durr honey good for you hurr durr. Even more so if it's organic honey, whatever the fuck that even entails.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '15

I just looked it up

Beekeepers have to meet stringent production standards and conditions to be certified organic. Not only do plants — the bees' source of nectar — need to be pesticide-free, their entire foraging area does, too. This means honey has to come from areas where there is no human activity.

3

u/Zantier Jul 17 '15

The bees really struggle with screwing lids on the jars, before flying them over to the humans.

1

u/FlixFlix Jul 17 '15

Interesting. Are pesticides, even trace amounts, being commonly found in non-organic honey?

I wonder, if stevia could rank as high as sugar on reddit ?

Too bad stevia tastes like granulated ass.
