Fruits and juices made out of fresh fruits are always healthy. They contain important nutrients, can balance blood sugar levels and reduce the rate of absorption of artificial sugar in the body.
Honey, a naturally available sweetener which is very healthy and also aids in weight loss. But, do not eat store bought honey as they are mixed with artificial sweeteners.

Corn syrup is famous but it is also very high in corn starch and fructose. Corn starch can cause weight gain whereas high fructose can cause type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
Sugar alcohols are found in some fruits and they are produced chemically. Although, they are naturally available, they are not the healthiest alternatives. If consumed in excess, it can cause gastrointestinal irritation.
