Should diabetics eat honey?

Generally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level. Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes.

I have diabetes, and I'm wondering if I can substitute honey for sugar in my diet? Answer From M. Regina Castro, M.D. Generally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level. Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes. But honey actually has slightly more carbohydrates and more calories a teaspoon than does granulated sugar. So any calories and carbohydrates you save will be minimal. If you prefer the taste of honey, go ahead and use it. But only use honey in moderation. Be sure to count the carbohydrates in honey as part of your diabetes eating plan.

Why do Asians look younger?

As a plastic surgeon sees it, there are structural reasons that people age differently. “Asians have a wider bone structure than a typical Caucasian face,” Dobryansky notes. “The soft-tissue loss is seen and felt to a lesser extent because of the wider structure.

aarp.org - Black Don't Crack? Asian Don't Raisin? - AARP

My friend was 36 when she was telling people she was 34. Yes, we’re in Hollywood, but she’s tucked safely behind the camera as a screenwriter. I asked her why she shaved two years, instead of, say, five or six, to put her sub-30. “Because that’s the biggest amount I think I can believably get away with,” she said. Then she added: “I don’t have your kind of time! I’m white with blond hair and fair skin!”

She was referring to my being Asian. She’s not wrong — I’m often mistaken for being a decade or so younger than I am. We’ve all heard the snappy quips (or is it quippy snaps?): “Black don’t crack.” “Asian don’t raisin.” “Fat don’t crack.” “Brown don’t frown.” If you’re somewhere like L.A. or New York, the average person can measure the passage of time on a face like a forensic scientist. It does seem like Asians age differently, looking younger for longer. As do black people. But is there any truth to that? Or is it just something people say?
