Honey

Raw honey does NOT feed candida, as the previous poster (the post below/ANSWER1) thinks. RAW honey (and not just raw, but UNheated and UNfiltered honey -- make sure it says that on the honey) is an INVERT sugar. And invert sugars do not ferment in the stomach/intestines.

If you are worried about the sugars that feed candida then look no further than GRAINS. Grains (starches) such as wheat, buckwheat, oats, rice, whole grains, etc. break down into pure glucose and feed candida more than anything else. I would strongly suggest that you stay away from grains (especially anything made with wheat: pasta, pizza, bread). A little white rice is acceptable, but otherwise stay away from grains and starchy vegetables such as potatoes.

Even fruits feed candida more than raw (UNheated) honey, because the sugar in fruits in NOT inverted. Limit your fruit consumption to NON-sweet fruits ONLY (NON-sweet fruits are berries, cucumbers, zucchini, bell peppers, avocado - and to a certain extent papaya and grapefruit are also low sugar fruits).

Sweet fruits (such as bananas, oranges, pineapple, mangoes, apples, pears, plums, melons) are nothing but sugary water and vitamins -- and unfortunately, because they contain so much sugar, they LEECH almost as much vitamins/minerals from the body as they provide. So if you want to starve off Candida, I suggest you COMPLETELY stay away from sweet fruits (which are basically the majoirty of fruits found in a common supermarket).

On the other hand, the things that kill candida and give you energy, health, longevity, well-being are Saturated FATS (yes, Saturated fats, which the current medical dogma view as harmful). Do your own resarch, and you will realize that the healthiest tribes and populations in the world (the masai, the inuit, etc.) who had no heart diseases, no cancers, ate a diet where the majority of calories came from ANIMAL fat. Current agriculture wants you to believe that oils such as sunflower oils, flax seed oils and other plant oils are healthy: nothing could be furhter from the truth. Polyunsaturated oils, especially omega-6 (those found in plants) oxidize already at body temperature. This oxidation/peroxidation creates free radicals and harms your arteries, heart, brain. Be careful about ANY vegetable oil, and never, ever cook in any oil that has a high ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The only vegetables oil I recommend are COCONUT oil (VERY high in those health SATURATED fats) and palm oil. Otherwise you can use butter or ghee for cooking.

Coconut oil in itself (get the organic, raw, VIRGIN coconut oil) is great at killing candida, because it has anti-fungi and anti-bacterial properties. Take 2 tablespoons each day in the morning. Along with that, your diet should be meat/fish/vegetables/raw honey/NON-sweet fruit. I don't recommend nuts/seeds since they contain starches and feed candida.

Yes, honey can become solid or crystallize over time. This process is natural and happens more often with raw unprocessed honey. Crystallized honey is still safe to eat and can be liquified by gently heating it.

Honey in not a solid; in fact, it is a very thick liquid. When you try to pour honey out of a jar, as it is very viscous (thick, not easy to pour), it takes a while to come out. It is also very sticky.

Honey has a high viscosity and low water content, which makes it resistant to melting at typical household temperatures. It also contains natural sugars that help stabilize its structure. When heated, it turns darker and loses some of its beneficial properties.

Yeast grows fastest with sugar because it is a simple carbohydrate that can be easily metabolized by the yeast for energy. Honey and syrup may contain other components that could possibly slow down the growth of yeast compared to pure sugar.

Bees gather the makings that become honey, to feed the Queen and food party with, later. Honey is the only food that NEVER spoils, if kept covered. It can turn to crystalized honey-sugar but if re-heated slowly, it will turn back to liquid honey that can be consumed. Crystalized honey can be eaten with a spoon. You can't O.D. on honey. When you've eaten enough, your mouth goes on strike. Do NOT spray Insecticide on flowers that give you honey free, brain surgeon.

If your honey crystallizes, you can easily re-liquify it by gently heating the jar in a pan of hot water, stirring while heating. Do not overheat as heat may alter flavor and color as a result of carmelization of the sugars source: http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodstorage/a/honeystorage.htm

To uncrystallize honey, you can gently warm it up by placing the container in warm water or microwaving it in short bursts, stirring in between. Avoid overheating the honey, as it can affect its taste and nutritional benefits. Once the honey is warmed, stir it well to help break up the crystals.

Honey is extracted from honeycomb by first removing the beeswax cap that seals the cells. The frames are then placed in a centrifuge which spins out the honey from the comb. The honey is then collected and filtered to remove any impurities before being packaged for sale.

The viscosity of honey is typically around 2000-10000 centipoises at room temperature, which is much higher than that of water. Honey's viscosity can vary depending on its temperature and moisture content.

Honey is made from the nectar of flowers that bees collect and store in honeycombs. Bees transform the nectar into honey through a process of digestion, regurgitation, and evaporation, creating a thick, sweet substance that serves as their main source of food.

A bobby pin can suspend in honey due to the honey's high viscosity creating resistance to the pin's movement through it. The honey's sticky properties also help to adhere the bobby pin to the surrounding honey molecules.

3 pounds, based on a quart jar of raw honey I bought, labeled 48oz/1.36kg by weight. A pint of water (16fl oz) weighs a pound (that's why a US pint is the volume that it is, it's a pound of water. Therefore a quart of water weighs 2lbs.

However honey weighs a lot more than water. I've just weighed some honey and done a calculation and I say a pint of honey weights 1lb 6oz or 22oz. So a quart should weigh 2lb 12oz or 44oz.

I suspect the jar mentioned above was weighed and therefore includes the weight of the jar, not the net weight of the honey.

The water content of honey varies a little between about 16% and 18%, but I doubt that's enough to register on domestic scales.

A quart of honey (2 pints) will weigh about 3 pounds.

Honey has a lower viscosity than milk because it is a concentrated sugar solution, whereas milk is a mixture of water, proteins, fats, and sugars. Honey has a thicker consistency due to its high sugar content, which results in a higher viscosity compared to milk.

No, honey is not a good conductor of electricity because it does not contain enough free ions to allow the flow of electricity. Honey is a poor conductor compared to materials like metals or saltwater.

The density of honey varies depending on factors such as temperature and moisture content, but it is typically around 1.4 kg/L (or 1.4 g/cm³). Honey is denser than water due to its high sugar content, which allows it to sink in water.

Honey is not considered a mineral because it is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and structure. Honey does not meet these criteria, as it is an organic compound with a complex mixture of sugars, water, and other organic compounds.

Yes, pure honey can crystallize over time. This is a natural process and does not mean the honey is spoiled. Crystallization can be reversed by gently heating the honey in a warm water bath.

Honey does not contain significant amounts of lipids, as it is primarily composed of carbohydrates (mainly sugar), water, and small amounts of proteins and minerals. Honey is not a significant source of lipids in the diet.

Lipid is fat, so no. Honey is coagulated flower juice, basically. The bees add a few enzymes, but the nature of honey is mostly because it is very dehydrated flower juice.

Honey is a mixture because it is composed of various substances such as sugars (glucose and fructose), water, enzymes, and small amounts of other compounds. These components combine naturally through the process of bees collecting nectar from flowers and then breaking it down and storing it in honeycombs.

Yes, honey is a complex mixture of compounds. It primarily consists of sugars such as glucose and fructose, along with water, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

The density of honey is typically around 1.36 grams per cubic centimeter. This can vary slightly depending on factors like temperature and moisture content.

A male bee is called a drone.
