Nothing very new I suppose. Fish + honey are the classic miscombina-
tion IMO: protein + sugar.
How about the following very simple explanations:

Case 1: pure honey. Immediately digested and (in your case) high blood
glucose level (BGL). Okay.

Case 2:
1 avocado plus 4 TBS honey: Avocado passed to the small intestine to
extract the fat. Honey digested immediately: still high BGL.

Case 3:
2 very fatty raw Boston mackerel + 4TBS honey: Body starts with the
digestion of the mackerels, secreting HCl etc. Digestion of the honey
must wait until most of the mackerels are processed in the stomach and
passed to the small intestine. BGL keeps low. Also it is questionable
if the honey is digestable if it follows the mackerels. Perhaps it
remains undigested.


I've got no idea, how honey and protein can be digested together.
Maybe in Aajonus' damaged digestion system (no HCL or no stomach or
whatever is true) it works. :-\

Best good combined wishes,

Stefan
