On the Kaufmann Diet, you are initial eliminating all forms of sugar and sweeteners, including honey. This is because The Kaufmann Diet is designed to eliminate pathogenic yeasts and fungi from the body, which can cause a variety of health problems. Yeast and fungi thrive on sugar, therefore, eliminating foods high in sugar goes a long way towards eliminating these parasitic organisms from your body.
As you ease into Kaufmann 2 of the Kaufmann Diet and eventually the LifePhase, a small amount of sweeteners may be added back into the diet.
Among those sweeteners encouraged is honey. Even though it is in high in sugar, honey does possess some remarkable health benefits. It is high in organic acids, may assist in preventing seasonal allergies, contains antioxidants, and is beneficial in the healing of wounds and ulcers.

One particular type of honey that stands out for its health benefits is Manuka honey. Manuka honey is a monofloral honey produced in New Zealand and Australia; the honey is made exclusively with the nectar of the Manuka tree. The honey produced via the nectar of the Manuka tree is high in certain compounds that give it medicinal properties. Specifically, Manuka honey is high in MGO (methylglyoxal), leptosperin and DHA (dihydroxyacetone).
The levels of these compounds are monitored and should be displayed on Manuka honey products. The higher the levels of these compounds, the more effective the honey will be, medicinally.
Manuka honey has been shown to be beneficial for a variety of things. It is potently anti-viral and antibacterial. It may even be beneficial against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
