We all do things that are unhealthy at times. We might indulge in something we love that isn't great for us in the name of tradition, nostalgia, or just for the flavor. Many people also struggle with eating for comfort and struggling with food emotionally, and I am not exempt from the latter. What I am trying to cover in this series is different. This isn't about things we consume the we KNOW are not good for us but make the choice to proceed despite the consequences, or even take extra measures to detox from our choices. This series is about making very intentional choices to take supplements or perform health practices in an attempt to improve our health, but in reality are doing things that will result in long term harm. So far we've covered coffee enemas and apple cider vinegar. Up next: honey.
Yes, honey. All natural, sometimes raw, pure, full of bacteriostatic properties, honey...
The issue with honey is that is a sugar . ALL forms of sugar ferments red blood cells, ferments tissue, feeds cancerous cells and tissues, propagates mold and rot in the body, feeds yeast, and contributes to any overall acidic condition.
What do people use honey for? Well, almost anything from sore throats, to weight loss, but 3 major uses according to one source include energy, immune system booster, and anti-cancer benefits.
If you are not struggling with a major health issue that requires restriction from sugar, I don't think honey is too bad. I used to say different. Now I say "sanctify it" and enjoy. Here is my update on this:

Here is an indulgent sweet treat that I developed this week: Waldorf Salad: Simple Cinnamon Yogurt. And with it comes a clue for my next Harmful Remedies post. This 5 ingredient "yogurt" is a super fast and non-fermented version of yogurt with cinnamon as the star. It also just so happens that cinnamon actually does have health benefitting properties including that it helps buffer the acid sugar, not to mention it is delicious!
