I stopped having Sugar in my Tea & Coffee ages ago, but now use Splenda or Clear Honey.
I know Splenda is a bit "iffy" as it's an artificial sweetener - but i only have that once a day with my morning Coffee.
On the other hand, i have 1 teaspoon of Honey with my Fruit Teas (on average, 4/5 times a day).
What's the deal with Honey,...is it Good or Bad?

It's neither good nor bad...it's just sugar. Too much sugar can be bad, but sugar in and of itself isn't evil. From a calorie standpoint, it's fairly empty (i.e. pretty much void of any nutritional value)...but honey is delicious.0

real honey is good, processed sugar dyed to look like honey is not.
my uncle has a bee farm (is that what they're called? or a hive? colony? idk) and sends me that honey. delicious.
additionally, if you eat local honey, your body may be better protected against seasonal allergies.

It's got a lot of sugar but so long as you're not diabetic and it fits in your calorie goal I'd keep using it. Also give stevia and agave a try0

Natural sugars are better than processed sugars any day. If you have the room in your diary for it and its not putting you way over on sugars I see aboslutely nothing wrong with it.0

Neither splenda, nor honey, nor cane sugar are "bad" or "iffy".0

^ This. Pretty much all foods have some level of nutritional value (yes even fast food), and should not just be dismissed as "bad". For caloric value, I think honey is probably better than regular table sugar.0 -

And even some of us diabetic don't get scared off by it... I have pure cane sugar, honey and sweeteners every single day and in my opinion they are all fine used in moderation...0 -

my husband is a news junkie and apparently there's a big stir about chinese honey flooding our markets which can potentially be unsafe...
we buy organic local just about everything including honey regardless but that's my two cents!0 -

Honey is just sugar. Natural sugar, but sugar nonetheless. If you have room for the extra sugar in your plan, it's good. If you don't, it's not good.0

Real local honey is good but like all sweets, take it easy on it.0

APIARY is the word you were both looking for.
An aviary has birds in it. Bird vomit is not as nice.
To the OP: raw honey has a lot more micronutrients than pasteurized honey, but sugar is sugar.0 -
Apiary.
