Honey is better than sugar, but only when bought from a local producer. Most of what you find in the supermarket is adulterated and from China or maybe India. Even if it is marketed for being from Canada doesn't guarantee it's not from overseas. These honeys have all the nutrients boiled out of them and are ladened with chemicals like formaldehyde and bulk sweeteners.
Usually a good nutritious local honey will be slightly darker and have debris from the pollen noticeable particularly at the top of the bottle.
I buy mine from the local farmers market and I have been to the producers farm. These local businesses do vary in quality as well so take the time and find a producer that deserves your support.
