I’d have thought that JDSK would be best placed to comment on the associated health issues. From my poorly informed perspective honey is near enough neat sugar and consuming neat sugar is probably unwise and so for several reasons. I don’t believe in (instant) energy bars but rather something that’s essentially slow / slower release is what I aim for and to eat something before the dreaded ‘bonk’ actually hits you.

Regarding the energy, many people find it beneficial to have a combination of quick & slow release carbohydrates, along with some fat & protein. This one reason that things like flap jacks are good. They have sugar (or honey!), oats and butter or oil. Energy bars do the same thing, possibly with a more scientific approach to determine how much of which.
