Well, you are still using sugar if you have switched to honey. You will have to reduce the liquid by one-half cup for each cup of honey you add to the recipe though. If you want to cut down on your total intake of sugar, consider decreasing all sugars, white, brown, powdered, raw, as well as honey. You could limit your intake of foods high in sugar to once a week rather than eating sweets daily. You will be surprised how good cookies taste with half the sugar.
Sugar is a natural food.
It comes from sugar cane or sugar beets. It is considered an empty calorie since there are not any vitamins or minerals in sugar. Some advocates of honey claim that honey has vitamins and minerals. There is no vitamin A in honey. This is not a significant contribution to your diet nutrient wise and honey is adding calories along with those trace amounts of nutrients.
