Honey is mainly (75%) sugars (mainly glucose and fructose) and 19% water, plus a little bit of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), some C and minerals. All of these nutrients are already abundantly present in this diet quote: Is it necessary with all of the enzymes available in the large quantities of fruit consumed in your diet? You do not need to consume fruits (or honey) to ingest enzymes. Enzymes are proteins made of dietary (or recycled) amino acids, by the body. Enzymes that cannot (sufficiently) be made by the body, are called "vitamines", and only these need to be sufficiently present in the food that you eat.

Are there any negative effects of raw honey if eaten in the right proportions (i.e. 1 TBSP = 17 grms carbohydrates plus 3 brazil nuts)
