Try it. I don't think you need to be afraid of anything that doesn't involve eating sugars.
Yup. But results rule, not theory.
Yes. But honey is the same thing as HFCS, exactly. It's just bee vomit. The bees' chemical factories are just as good as ours, but there's no difference between honey and a Big Gulp except the cost. And see my first reply in this msg. It's all about what works for your digestion.
Yes, and I think for people with RH complex carbs would be the smarter, healthier choice. The difference for me between honey and a big gulp is that I don't consume huge amounts of honey alone. I use it in small amounts as a sweetener in combination with fats, complex carbs and proteins. People who consume big gulps generally do so either alone or in combination with some other unhealthy processed food full of sugar and/or unhealthy fat that they bought at the corner store. They may be almost identical in their make-up, but HFCS is typically processed from GMO corn whereas (raw organic) honey is a natural whole food. That has to count for something. Maybe not - particularly for someone with sugar issues - but as I said I do not consume it alone. THIS has been the key to my recovery from RH - not consuming large amounts of simple carbs, only small amounts with other
real food. Don't get me wrong. I am far from a health food fanatic or self-righteous bandwagon organic consumer. I eat bad food all the time. Just not of the refined sugar type.
