Why do people on the internet suck at biology and nutrition so much? First of all, pasteurization does not 'destroy the nutritional value' of food. Pasteurization is just the process of heating and rapidly cooling a liquid to spur microbial growth and prevent spoilage. Yes, it depletes
some nutrients(as little as a few percentage points for some), but it does not eliminate all the nutritional value of food. Plus, what the forget is the point of nutrition if you're just going to vomit it all out from food poisoning? Pasteurization: 1. Tumblr 'Scientists': 0.
Furthermore, that 'microwaves kill nutrients' thing is just an urban legend. It's actually quite the opposite when you consider the fact that microwaves can only heat up water in food through dielectric heating:

Amino acids do not 'aid digestion'. Amino acids are the constituent pieces of proteins. They really have nothing to do with digestion other than that they're absorbed by the small intestine, and the proteins they are eventually synthesized into might eventually play a role in digestion. This isn't even a unique characteristic of honey. Most foods you can find in a grocery store contain some form of protein and by extension amino acids.
"Honey never goes bad (seriously never)"
Another urban legend:

Yes, honey kills babies."Honey has a stuffton of vitamins"
Sure doesn't look like it to me:

You do realize sugars are nutrients too? You know that cellular respiration thing?
Yeah, you'd die without it.
Furthermore, sugar is sugar and regardless of how much naturalists like to bitch about how High-Fructose Corn Syrup is 'unnatural', it's literally metabolized the same way as any other type of sugar (except cellulose, obviously).
So in short, honey isn't really that special, whoever made this image needs to open a book, and OP just managed to misinform a ton of people by copy pasting information that is mostly incorrect.
