You gotta be careful with glycemic index/impact, though.
Quote:
The GI of honey. Most commercially blended honeys have a moderate Glycemic Index or GI of between 45 and 64 which is lower than sugar – white or brown - at 65. The GI varies with the level of fructose – the more fructose, the lower the GI

If that's the quality you're looking at, fructose would be best. There might even be situations where it is better, a little bit of fructose daily vs. a little bit of glucose could reduce insulin requirements for meals for type I diabetics, maybe not as good as skipping the sugars entirely, but maybe it would reduce the risks of oversteering with insulin. Replacing a larger amount of glucose with fructose would have the risk of fatty liver and insulin resistance going for it.
