Honey vs. sucrose for appetite?

[Judd Crane]

I've been looking for GLP-1 increasers to boost satiety. Apparently fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in honey has this mechanism. I did however find a study in humans that did not show any benefits in hunger ratings or food intake with honey in comparison with sucrose.

Effect of honey versus sucrose on appetite, appetite-regulating hormones, and postmeal thermogenesis - PubMed

Alterations in meal-induced responses of ghrelin and PYY(3-36) but not meal-induced thermogenesis may be responsible in part for the potential "obesity protective" effect(s) of honey consumption. A blunted glycemic response may be beneficial for reducing glucose intolerance. Further research is...

Has anyone here noticed benefits with honey compared to sucrose with regards to satiety?

I generally don’t sweeten with honey as I personally find the taste of it to be ‘rich,’ and I therefore tend eat and drink less of anything I’ve sweetened with it. Since I personally am trying to eat more, I won’t use honey in most cases.

‘Rich’ foods generally curb my appetite, but as far as a lasting satiation from honey, I would need to experiment to see. It would be a simple and inexpensive thing to test I imagine, so your best bet might be to just try a week with each, and see if there is a difference.

I believe there is something to the trehalose content of honey that provides the benefit as well, something more to research
