Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Why are you interested in sugar? What are you using it on? If your getting cravings for it there is something NOT rotten in Denmark. <wink>   Nicoel Suzanne Author in Progress... -- Date sugar Does anyone know if date sugar is ok to use?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 The only sugar I know of, other than stevia, that will not feed candida is zylitol. I don't think honey is ok either. Zylitol looks like cane sugar, tastes like cane sugar, is used in the same amounts as you would cane sugar, but is actually supposed to be good for you and not poison you like cane sugar does. I use the liquid stevia but the only thing I've been sweetening is my whey protein drink. I'd stay away from any other sugars. Gail > > Does anyone know if date sugar is ok to use?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 's advice to try agave nectar should be met with caution. Read the manufacturers's paragraph and see why: " " " QUOTE: 1) Because Agave Nectar is high in fructose, it enjoys all the benefits which continue to make fructose a preferred sweetening agent. It is sweeter than refined sugar (approximately 1.4 times sweeter); in fact, fructose offers an equivalent sweetness for nearly half the amount of carbohydrate calories. Fructose does not stimulate digestive insulin secretion as do other sugars. It is less disturbing to the glycemic index. In common parlance, it does not create a " sugar rush. " " " Agave nectar is sugar, fructose to be exact. Fructose feeds candida and all the other dysbiosis organisms extremely well. Duncan Does anyone know if date sugar is ok to use?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Xylitol is actually an alcohol and because it has been worked is not available to candida, which also gives off alcohol as waste. Sugars usually end on " -ose " , not - " ol " . Out of eight essential glyconutrient sugars that are used as construction material in the body, I think just two, lactose and glucose, are used by candida. That's why we are fairly tolerant of aloe vera, which contains five of these essential sugars, and whey, which contains three. A lot of foods contain them.

I've been told Xylitol is OK to use (can anyone confirm or dispute this?). It tastes almost exactly the same as sugar. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Zylitol IS ok to use. The only drawback is if you use and consume too much of it, it can cause diarrhea. Also see Duncan's post on it. Gail > > > Does anyone know if date sugar is ok to use?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi! Date sugar is considered illegal, at least at first. It doesn't make sense to me because I thought date sugar is just dehydrated dates. Check out the legal/illegal list here: www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ For date sugar it says - illegal and may be tried after being on the diet for quite sometime and symptom free but it is not recommended. We are using a combination of honey and stevia for sweetening. It does get tricky with kids! Cooked honey substitutes--- WAS honey Posted by: " Aimee deLongchamp " a.delongchamp@... aimee_del Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:58 am (PST) Also, the site explains that when honey is cooked it changes the molecules to a " non homogenized glue that adheres to the mucous membranes and clogs subtle channels, producing toxins. Raw honey is nectar, Cooked Honey is poison. " Yes, I have an Indian friend who warned me of this and said that it could be why I am so full of mucus on this diet. So what are the GAPS friendly sweetener alternatives for cooking besides honey? The GAPS book uses honey exclusively for cooking and I'd prefer to only eat it raw. I am confused if date sugar is OK -She suggests dates for sweetening almond milk so is date sugar OK as long as it is organic? How about sucanat? -Aimee ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
