Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've used sugar on open oozing wounds on an animal where the infection was so bad the stitches wouldn't hold. The vet fist gave me a super refined sugar (de trims trim I think) but still sugar never the less. I've often used it since. Since it is hydrophilic it draws the fluid to it and disables easily so it easy to rinse off and reapply. ( several times a day) neither sugar or honey alone support bacterial growth.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 HUM.... been following this and wonder if " sugar substitutes " like Stevia and Xylitol would also work? I gave up REAL sugar many years ago and replaced it with Xylitol. More expensive per pound, but by far sweeter than sugar (hence I use a LOT less) and it work just as well on my food/drinks, recipes.... Xylitol is natural. Stevia leave a bad aftertaste...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Probably not. Look for " ose " to identify the molecule as a sugar. It not about taste!
