Don't call me honey, we hardly know each other ;). Of course it will raise blood sugar, I knew that, the other poster didn't know it. Dextrose is a sweetener made from corn and I am allergic to it but I am not allergic to honey.

Why don’t you post the article itself instead of link to Slashdot? (Nearly) All Slashdot posts refer to external primary sources. Please refer to primary sources and skip citing Slashdot, the intermediary.

Sugar at very high concentrations is a bacteriacide. Until modern times, honey was used to keep bagpipe bags sterile.

At least they weren’t able to reproduce...

Dextrose is another name for glucose(which is what we
call blood sugar)since it circulates in the blood
and it necessary as a source of energy to power the
many chemical reactions we make. When your blood glucose
(dextrose) drops too low, you can get dizzy, get the “shakes”.
etc, and it get way low you will pass out,as your brain needs it to function.
Who told you that you were “allergic” to it? Or does
“allergy” mean that you cannot tolerate it if you eat it?

For some bacteria, xylitol is quite effective.
Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol, made from birch bark.
Quite sweet to the taste. Does not raise insulin levels. The body naturally manufactures it every day.
Seems some bacteria get confused and think it’s fructose, so they absorb it, But they don’t have the enzymes needed to break it down.
So the bacteria croak.
They die of what amounts to constipation.

When I eat food with dextrose on the label I get a skin reaction, hives. Other corn products give me other allergic reactions. corn, corn meal, corn starch etc. give me a severe headache, maltodextrin makes my throat and chest tight. My allergist confirmed my corn allergy with skin testing. The headaches are several hours after eating, the dextrose and maltodextrin reactions are withing 10 minutes.

“treatments we use in the jungle”
I remember seeing that work. I thought it was because the sugar created an environment that crenated (shrivelled) the offending organisms and shrunk (sucked the extra fluid out of) the swollen cells, thus increasing the circulation and immunomodulatory access to the area.
How does it REALLY work?

“only sugars safe for a diabetic would be those we can’t digest at all.” Does sorbitol ring a bell? I dunno.

How does it REALLY work?I'm a musician and missionary. Ultimately, the answer is that God in His mercy grants it so. Exactly how He choses to work is not my specialty.
