Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hello All, Perhaps I missed it, but I did not see a reference to using honey as a sweetener for foods and liquids. I am sorry if I am making someone repeat theirself, but could you tell me if honey is a good substitute for white sugar, and also if it is used for hypoglycemia, if you know. Thank you very much.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 I do not know a lot about using honey as a substitute for white sugar. I do know that there are refined forms of honey (usually commercial) and more natural, unrefined and "raw" forms. The latter is better and contains more nutrients. I have also been told that when honey is heated, it undergoes a chemical change and becomes hard for the body to digest. My yoga teachers have advised against sweetening hot tea with honey and using honey for baking for that reason.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 I was once on a diet for hypoglocemia, My understanding is that if you are hypoglocemic, it is best not to use any sweeteners, including honey, unrefined cane sugar, corn syrup, or maple syrup. All of these sweeteners are preferable to refined white sugar because they contain vitamins and minerals. (not sure about corn syrup) Refined white sugar actually takes vitamins out of your body. Raw honey is anitbacterial when applied to the skin. I have a Jamaican friend who applies it to wounds. (very successfully) Ancient Egyptians used raw honey to prevent infection in brain surgery. When honey is heated for refining it loses it's antibacterial qualities and can grow bacteria when sitting on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
