Just got sick recently and was having a compulsing need for sugar. I was very tired, almost dangerously tired, and found this study online :

Too bad I’m not a mouse. Even if human studies show the same, the fact that i don’t seem to contract influenza eating keto is reason enough to avoid the sugar.

I have been keto for 3 months, doing IF regularly for 3 weeks, and doing a 90hr fast when everyone in my house got the flu (and I am carrying for the sickest one, 6 yr old, sleeping with him) and this is the first year I have not gotten sick. Sugar is bad news anytime. Honey however is good ON wounds to inhibit infection, if it kills bacteria can’t be too good for us.
