Honey is bad though for people who have a candida overgrowth. It is still loaded with sugar.

"Some of you may be surprised to find honey here. Although honey is a natural sweetener, it is considered a refined sugar because 96% of dry matter are simple sugars: fructose, glucose and sucrose. It is little wonder that the honey bear is the only animal found in nature with a problem with tooth-decay (honey decays teeth faster than table sugar). "

Stevia and licorice root have no calories and do not cause tooth decay. They also are very sweet. They are also antifungal! So rather than feeding candida, they help combat it!
