Re: Water Fasting for 13 days

"I do not find the sweetness of a tsp in a cup of honey greater than that of a ripe fruit."

no, me neither. On the contrary--but I do find it *feels like a meal*, in a good way. It is something to do with the concentration factor of it. Or something more technical I have forgotten... Sorry, I can't even recall where I saw it to track it down, so I shouldn't bring it up--I admit it sounds sketchy too, and yet, it struck me as making some sense, in the context of the whole article.

I didn't get the impression it was referring to honey in tea within the typical SAD, but more in a plant-based raw-ish vegan lifestyle. Well, hmm. I do find that more than two tsp. a day feels like too much at some level--but I eat fruit anyway. In terms of the enzymes and whatnot (:-)
it would be important not to add the honey until the tea cooled a bit...much value could be lost.

Ah--I did not see the mention of mono-fruit WITH the teas.
That's a whole other thing than tea and honey fasting; I consider it more a mono-fruit fast, with tea, and I have no doubt it produces great results. I'm kind of inclining that way anyway, as it gets hotter.

Maybe the 2 tsp. a day max suggested honey with tea was speaking to people over forty. It's kind of vaguely coming back to me. Yes, I think it was speaking to that segment, and I'm 55. Insulin resistance seems to crop up for many at middle age and onward. My mother has it, and I don't intend to go that path.

Maybe it'll come to me, tomorrow--The source. Apologies again. It's late now. Thanks for the discussion!
Always a pleasure.

PS--I should have put quotes around sugar. (re: honey) I just don't have the head to retain all the proper names and distinctions, though I am aware of them, (most often intuitively) if that makes any sense. I admire you evident skill with intricate information. Tweet
