beet kvass--OK for Candida?

[Guest guest]

I have conflicting information. Sally Fallon says Beet Kvass is helpful for

candida sufferers, Bee sources Nourishing Traditions, Sally Fallon's book, and

says that it is too sweet for candida sufferers. Which is it?

Here are my sources:

From Sally:

Question: I read your recipe for a beet kvass and would like to make it. I am on

Candida diet and try to avoid a lot of sugar and yeast and wheat food. Would

kvass be helpful? I hope it will help with my constipation. - Lana

Answer: Yes! The beet kvass is very helpful for candida. In fact, we had a

letter from someone who had suffered for years from candida, and had tried all

the diets. What turned her around was beet kvass. I think you will also find it

useful for constipation. Personally, I drink about 4 ounces beet kvass morning

and night–it is a tonic I swear by!

From Bee:

Note: Candida sufferers are intolerant of Beet Kvass because it contains too

much sugar.
