Honey

Elaine writes: 

Honey is legal because, as the book states, it contains only single sugars (monosaccharides) which do not need microvilli enzymes (see diagrams on pages 22 and 23) in order for the two sugars of which it is  composed to be absorbed into your bloodstream.    


When buying honey, it is best to look for a label that states 100% honey or pure honey to make sure there are no additives. You may consider searching for a beekeeper or using the locator on honey.com.  If you live outside the United States, check online or locally for beekeeper locators.
