However The way in which honey works i doubt is "drink it , it contacts fungii and kills it" i think it stimulates proper digestive function, increases Ph in the intestines therefore not allowing candida to thrive in proper ph level.
I also found much more tolerated die off on honey than other items.
I know its daunting to think about actually taking high Sugar food while having candida, but that idea of reducing every thing on the diet stuck with me for many many years and it never worked in fact i got weaker.
