What About the Use of Honey
Honey must not be used at any time internally. It is
manufactured from the nectar picked up from the flowers by the bees
— good enough in itself, perhaps —- then predigested, vomited and
stored for their own future use with a preservative added. It is
deficient in calcium and has many detrimental effects for the human
being.
According to one authority, honey is "a magical and mystical
word in Healthfoodland. It is one of the most overpromoted,
overpriced product being sold to gullible health foodists. The great
value attributed to honey is delusive... honey is only a little less
empty and more dangerous than sugar."
Just as with alcohol, honey, being predigested, enters the blood
directly, raising the sugar content very rapidly above normal. To
correct this, the pancreas must produce insulin immediately or
possible death can occur. More insulin than necessary is likely to be
produced, and the blood sugar level then drops below normal. This
can produce blackout spells and even death if it goes too low. When
blood sugar is below normal, a person will feel depressed. The
regular use of honey can create constant imbalances which in turn
will adversely affect the normal function of the liver, pancreas and
spleen. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are the results of the use
of unbalanced sugars. The balanced sugar in maple syrup and sugar
cane juice causes no dangerous side effects. All natural fruits and
vegetables have balanced sugars in them. Artificial, synthetic, and
