Inspiration & Paradox 54: Honey Lowers Sugar Level in Blood -- The Fructose Paradox


A revolutionary approach to weight control and overall health claims that natural honey can lower blood glucose level. The fuelling of the liver with a spoonful of honey or two for the night fast prior to bed (contrary to the belief that one should not eat late or he/she will grow fat) involves the following principles:

1. The liver is optimally replenished via fructose uptake and conversion into glucose and liver glycogen (stored glucose).

2. Fructose allows the uptake of glucose into the liver by activating the glucose enzyme --The Fructose Paradox.

3. Sleep is activated via insulin, serotonin and melatonin.

4. With good liver plenitude and stable blood glucose the brain activates the release of recovery hormones.
