sugar and honey

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:51 am

Does the liver process honey and sugar (and sugar substitutes) in
the same way?  If one is on a no-sugar diet, does this include honey?
Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.  I thought that might be true…
    Can you make suggestions for natural sweeteners that would not
    violate the no-sugar diet.
    And while I’m asking you these questions, do you have any
    knowledge about the effects of shark cartilege on rheumatoid
    arthritis and/or psoriasis?

    Thanks again…

    I don’t know why you’re on a no-sugar diet, but I would point out
    that most "sugar-free" products sold to the granola trade use honey
    or (particularly perniciously), concentrated fruit juice in place of
    sugar.  Both are just concentrated sugar solutions (there’s more
    fructose in honey and fruit juice), so to claim that products made
    with either are "sugar free" is quite misleading, not that there’s
    anything wrong with them otherwise.

    I don’t believe it is helpful for those conditions. Why are you trying to
    avoid sugars?

    Your liver never sees "honey." Yes, such a diet would certainly include
    honey.

    I found a blend of Yerba Mate that uses Honeyleaf as a natural
    sweetener and am wondering why Honeyleaf is not used in more
    products this way?

    On the subject of honey–does anyone know the legal definition of RAW?

    Someone reliable told me the law says 120 F heating of honey still
    qualifies it as raw.  The honey I buy says it’s guaranteed never to have
    been heated above 115 F.  Above 118 F enzymes are destroyed.

    Anyone know if the 120 F figure is correct?
