Natural sugars are found in fruit as fructose and in dairy products, such as milk and cheese, as lactose, while refined sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beets, which are processed to extract the sugar

The fact that your body doesn't distinguish between sugars, regardless of the source best describes why "natural" sugars, such as honey, are no better for the body than corn syrup or white sugar.
