The reason "why not" is that honey is 45% fructose, only 5% less than cane sugar (sucrose). If you search these posts you will find reference to some substitutes, like Organic Rice syrup and Malt Syrup.
And beware the term "natural" sugar - it's what the dietitians call fructose and often say "Oh fruit's all right - it's natural sugar". As if sucrose is somehow unnatural!
