Refined Sugar versus Honey?!
About two months ago, I did away with most refined sugar (cut it out by about 95%) because it makes me have mood swings and crave it even more!. However, I am able to eat raw honey (like, in a peanut butter sandwich) and I don't have those mood swings/cravings like I do with refined sugar from candy, cookies, etc!.!. Why is that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I think it has to do with the type of sugar that honey is!. Refined sugar is sucrose and it moves through your body very quickly, resulting in a high followed by a crash (your mood swings)!. Honey has herbal and therapeutic qualities which slow its breakdown in your system, so your mood remains level!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Honey has trace amounts of minerals and also is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you use less!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
