Thank you for the info about pure cane sugar. I keep it on hand. I don't use it much so it lasts a very long time.

I think, where you are able… organic, locally sourced honey is best. Although, my father likes stevia… which I hate.

It's hard to find local honey here these days. Too many bees dying. I read that raw honey is the best, but I don't like it. I hate Stevia too. Monk's fruit is a little better. It's okay.

It may be worth the drive to find one as nearby as possible. Usually agricultural cooperatives have listings for honey producers. You can find it various forms and flower bases. I have a diabetic family member who uses monk fruit. Bees are absolutely essential to survival as they are the major pollinators. We don’t require sugar, you can get the same joy from organic fruit…in my opinion. Except my spouse and I enjoy quality dark chocolate and the occasional custard style ice cream.

Stevia is used as birth control in its local areas. Actually where I live Maple syrup is produced. It is better for us than sugar and use less (if you are smart) and adds a nice flavor. We all eat some sugars, and we need some. But starting your day with sugar pops and Cap'n Crunch and Cinnabons . . . not so much.

I have also found local honey producers.

I buy local RAW honey.

White in color (must be a supremacist according to Joe Blow Biden) but tases awesome. I take a tablespoon daily, and wash it down with a glass of water.

Unfortunately,

The bees follow me around all damn day, trying to get me to buzz back in their ears ! The nerve !!
