Hello,
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the diagnosis of Candida overgrowth and the role, if any, that avoiding sugar might play. It turns out, most people feel better if they avoid refined sugar and processed foods, since this means they are moving back to a diet with more emphasis on whole foods. So eliminating sugar and processed foods just makes sense for everyone. Manuka honey has been the subject of a number of studies, mostly looking at its ability to help heal wounds. However, honey is honey – which means Manuka honey is still largely sugar (fructose and glucose primarily). If you are finding benefit from eliminating sugar from your diet, I recommend using honey sparingly, regardless of the source.
