Hi there, comment on honey

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I am new to this group and I am so happy to be here, I can barely

believe a vegan and gluten free group exists-am I dreaming:)

 

I have been on this trip now for 3.5 years when my eldest son was

diagnosed celiac's disease, now I have a whole family that eats gluten

free. When we discovered the celiac we were at a place where we were

finally committing to eat a vegan diet (after years of vegetarianism)

and then with great frustration we became gluten free and veganism

went out the window. Over the past 3 years I have tried my best to

limit the eggs, which is really what I find hard to omit from my

baking, dairy-no problem. I have found that the quality of the baked

goods changes drastically when eggs are omitted-at least in my

experiments. With that said I hope to learn from everyone on this

group and contribute a great deal.

 

Alas, here is a thought on the honey issue. Wondering if anyone else

knows of this? It has actually come to me from several people one of

which is a trusted friend and nutritionist. According to ayerveda

(sp?), cooking honey is carcinogenic and very toxic, not to mention

difficult for our bodies to digest. This has helped me to limit the

honey in my diet to only raw honey on occasion. Supposedly the

procedure to collect raw hoeny is suppose to harm the bees much less

than conventional collection, not sure why this is, just what I have

read.
