That's interesting. I've recently switched to using small amounts of honey for sweetening (like in my coffee, etc..), as part of a switch to a more "natural", ancestral foods way of eating.

I became very suspicious of all artificial sweeteners and even stevia, after my dog almost died from ingesting xylitol (it sends their insulin levels very high). That experience, combined with information from The Obesity Code has made fake sweeteners of any kind very unappealing to me. Honey at least has been ingested by humans for a very long time. I'd also like to think that honey might have other compounds in it that are helpful as opposed to the emptiness of sugar or corn syrup.

I'm very curious as to why the Hadza men eat so much more honey than the women--are they out in the bush taking it directly from the hive?
