🍯 Honey's Glycemic Index, Nutrition and Portion Control

Interactive 3D blood-glucose curve simulator where users select a honey portion size and compare the simulated glycemic response against an equivalent amount of table sugar.

Biology2DModerate60 FPS

Choose a honey portion and floral variety and watch a 3D blood-glucose response curve rise and fall over 180 simulated minutes, compared side-by-side against an equal-carbohydrate portion of table sugar.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Glycemic load combines glycemic index and portion size to predict how high and how fast blood glucose rises. Lower-GI honeys like acacia produce a flatter, slower curve than an equal amount of sucrose.

🎮 How to Use

Set portion size and honey variety, then scrub the timeline (or hit auto-play) to read glucose values off both curves. Toggle the sugar comparison ribbon on or off.

💡 Did You Know?

Honey's higher fructose content slows gastric absorption relative to sucrose, which is why equal-carbohydrate honey portions tend to produce a lower, later glucose peak — but portion size still matters most.
