Honey is only considered "healthy" by people who know nothing about nutrition but who think "natural" is automatically good [0]. Honey is no better for you than HFCS, but no worse either (except in infants because honey often contains botulism spores that infants cannot fight [1].)

The observation is, I think, based on the top level post mentioning:

> ban all added sugar, except (real) honey in reasonable proportions.

As if there is something "magic" about honey that makes it OK as opposed to all other sugars. There is not.
