I think the most important information in the video is the huge difference in effect of glucose and fructose. Raw starchy tubers (typical example in the English-speaking cuture being potatoes) are 100% digested in our body into glucose (saturated animal fat is the best energy source, though - but there is a limited amount of it in our unsustainably overpopulated world) ; "sugary sweeteners" - including honey - are only (approximately) 50% glucose - the other 50% is the fructose poison.

I do not even believe in the notion that "raw whole fruit(s) are not a problem because they do not digest that fast", but that is somewhat open for discussion (there are other reasons to eliminate/strictly limit fruit{s} from/in one's diet, however - at least the domesticated ones).
