All sugar is biochemically identical. Complex carbohydrates get fairly easily broken down into monosaccharides. It all metabolizes into glucose which is metabolized in most tissue due to insulin activity; except fructose, which is only metabolized in the liver directly into fat, which leads to fatty liver disease (and also gout indirectly), which is the second leading cause of liver cirrhosis and liver transplantation in the US and the EU.

There is no biochemical pathway relating sex hormone synthesis and glucose. Honey does not improve insulin sensitivity, that is utter nonsense which makes no logical sense and I don't care what studies are made about it.

Fruit today is completely different to prehistoric fruit, which was smaller, more fibrous and only available for a brief period of time of the year (ice age and all). Honey was available if you were willing to risk injury to obtain it, which people would do on occasion since sugar is addictive and hyperpalatable. You can also consume alcohol with joy, but it is still poison to the body.

We're also descended from omnivorous apes and there simply was no negative evolutionary pressure to knock out molars or an entire metabolic pathway dedicated to metabolizing carbs. Humans were very opportunistic eaters, but they would always prefer to eat meat compared to plant food, as shown by anthropologic studies.
