As far as I know honey consists of mostly equal amounts of glucose and fructose and thus has a similar nutritional value as HFCS, barring the minerals maybe.



Minerals, antioxidants, pollen, and enzymes are the potentially beneficial parts of honey. I'm not sure about HFCS, but compared to regular table sugar you can use less to achieve the same sweetness.


Wikipedia suggests that honey is 55-65% fructose / 35-45% glucose, which is a slightly higher ratio than HFCS.
