It does no harm to the teeth & has minerals/vitamins. I get organic honey, which treats the MRSA superbug!

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!

I couldn't find any research about that quote regarding the honey bear, and a few species of bear are sometimes called that. I think its a made up quote that never had any reference to back it up.

I'm guessing if a bear did have cavities its because they love to eat trash! Bears love living by trash dumps and also raid garbage regularly, eating all the junk processed food people throw away...which certainly will give you cavities!!!

Honey does protect teeth from decay, at least raw honey does. If you rub it in your mouth before bed you will not get cavities and it will help your gums and teeth. It will kill the unfriendly bacteria in your mouth.

Raw honey is great, but does need to be limited if you have candida overgrowth.

PS, Getting honey that is raw is even more important than getting organic honey in my opinion. Its a living food and full of enzymes.

Honey is a good thing for health. Honey prevents our body from many diseases and helps in weight loss. Nice to read the useful information about honey. I just want to say one thing that everyone should use honey daily.
