Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I think that the opposition to honey is that the bees are, um, used and discarded sometimes. I would imagine that smaller honey bee farms could be more humane in the care of the bees, let them make their honey, ,... but from what I have read about large honey " prductions, " is that they take what they need from the bees, exhust them, then let them die? I am not vegan and still use honey, but I try to get it locally as opposed to store brand. I don' t know if this is really any better? Maple syrup is a good sweetener, brown rice syrup too. , J Rouge <spice_e_talula_rouge> wrote: > > What types of sweetners can you get that are natural and not processed? What is the deal with honey?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I really don't prefer to use honey, I rather use the maple and blackstrap, just because honey gives me the heeby jeebies for some strange reason. I DID put it in my green tea the other day because I am all out of maple syrup. Thought I was gonna get my blackstrap molasses and maple syrup today ( can't go till next Sunday, boo hoo, now will have to go a week on honey or processed sugar. I wonder if brown sugar is better for us than white sugar, something tells me yes. hugs, Chanda - Melissa Saturday, November 05, 2005 12:29 PM Re: NAtural sweetners I think that the opposition to honey is that the bees are, um, used and discarded sometimes.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 You can grow stevia yourself, I have a friend who keeps it as one of her herbs in her garden. It is amazingly sweet. So far the FDA won't allow it to be called an alternative sweetener. Instead it has the designation as a dietary supplement. Here is a website all about it: http://www.stevia.net/ Denise , " Cyndy " <moonstar562001> wrote: > > Anyone have any thoughts on stevia? I use it in my coffee....

Try Sugar In the Raw, if you want " healthy " sugar. Personally I don't mind using sugar because we don't eat a lot of sweets and I stay away from high fructose corn syrup. That's a lot worse for you! I've made the Applepaj with brown sugar and I really like it. I seem to remember that someone recently posted a cookie recipe that has blackstrap molasses. Have I given James' recipe for molasses bread? Oh, yeah, it was from the Farmer's Almanac. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well, y'all, I read yesterday on the www.vegparadise.com<http://www.vegparadise.com>site (and a link therein, can't remember exactly but I think it was in the FAQ's section) that honey is ...are you ready?...honey is bee vomit!!!!! Yes!!!! I know!!! Then I read the whole article and okay--I'm convinced. No more honey for me, thanks very much! As well, there is the aspect that bees are forced to make honey by their " keepers " and they are killed when they become useless to the keepers. This goes under the heading of " Things I Would Never Have Believed Before " ...MANY of which I have learned in the past few days reading!!! Bees regurgitate the honey. The honey companies of course don't like you to know this. Read the article and you will understand it all better. No more honey at OUR house!!!
