Best answer:

Answer by Corvato
you don’t want to add sugar/fructose/honey, etc… the yeast that is left in the beer will consume it and either over-carbonate or shatter your bottles

you have to use something that the yeast won’t consume… many home brewers use lactose. a few are now experimenting with splenda & stevia sweeteners now.
