If you're debating between the devil you know (refined white sugar) and the beeautiful sweet nectar of our buzzing friends (honey), well buddy, we're here to stir the pot for you. Ditch that eyeroll yet, okay? We're not claiming honey will give you abs, but it's sure to deliver some nutritional benefits alongside the sweetness you crave.

When on the sugar podium, honey and refined sugar are just waving at each other from different heights. You heard right. Honey, while deemed as the 'healthier' option, is calori-fic. It's not all bad news though, it makes up for the calorie overload with nutrients and some potential health benefits. Go figure.

Here's the honey-do list for you: Remember, not all honey is equal (seems we stumbled upon another life lesson, eh?). Around 300 varieties exist, depending on the nectar source and region, and some could fit your personal health goals like a glove better than others.

Raise those brows, honey. This sweet delight does come with some proven benefits. Now, that's beehaving! But remember the wit till the end because both white sugar and honey need a bouncer called 'moderation'. They are crammed with calories and sugars that the body can only handle so much of.

The sugar-high craziness is linked to some distressing health issues. Alert for young parents: Steering clear of honey for babies below one year old is crucial to prevent botulism.

For the grown-ups, health guidelines demand a cooler relationship with added sugars - refined or honey. Zero in on less than 25 g and 36 g of added sugars for women and men respectively in your everyday diet.

So, next time life gives you a coffee, ask yourself: will it be sugar or honey? Whatever your pick, moderation is the keyword. Pare back on the sweet life because, in the sticky world of sugars, every lick counts.
