Hi,
This is a common doubt that most of the people have. Honey also yields simple easily absorbable carbs as that of sugar. Honey gives the same calories as that of sugar. This will cause the blood sugar levels to rise, as the sugar does. Hence any form of simple sugars including jaggery, honey, palm jaggery or honey should be avoided.
