Honey isn't any better. Stick to sugar from sugar cane.

Aight, a bit more:

Agave, honey, HFCS are all high in fructose.  My particular problem is an inability to properly digest fructose (among a host of other foods, ugh).  Sucrose and glucose are fine.  That leaves cane sugar and 100% maple syrup as my primary sweeteners.  Another very very sweet trick is to add dextrose (corn sugar) to high fructose foods.  Dextrose and fructose bond at a 1:1 ratio creating an easily digestible sugar compound.

As for nutrient rich foods to add to your diet, it is hard to beat spinach and quinoa.

Quinoa's the s@#$! Red quinoa if you can find it.
2 water to 1 quinoa, add some salt and apple cider vinegar and a diced tomato, bring to a boil, then simmer til done. Melt in some coconut oil and mix in arugula and feta cheese and you've got yourself a fine meal. Serve with seared halibut if available!

I've been using stevia in my beverages since I figured out that having a lot of  Splenda (sucralose) was triggering migraines where part of my vision was missing or flashing (scary the first time), then a dull headache.  Trader Joes has the best deal on stevia - I think it's in the vitamin aisle.
