Why do you say honey is nasty and your advice is to have nothing to do
with it and what are you doing subscibed to the BEE-L list if  you are going
to
put down honey when someone asked a question about it that likes it.
 
My grandfather was a diabetic and the only sweets he was able to have was the
ones my mother made for him useing honey becouse other kinds of sugurs was
bad for him so don't go around telling people that honey is nasty and dosn't
taste
good just becouse you don't like it!!!!!!!!
