The Health Effects of Artificial Sweeteners
Honey contains fructose it contains glucose just like table sugar does so it's metabolised in the same way. Stevia is really much more like an artificial sweetness and a lot of stevia products also contain erythritol which is a sugar alcohol. We do know from what research has been published around artificial sweeteners that they seem to unfavorably impact our overall blood sugar control but I do think it's an area that we need more research before we can say it's safe to swap sugar for sweeteners or we shouldn't consume sweeteners at all.
