[Dysphagia] Nectar vs honey
I think Wilma Clancey addressed this a month or so ago and if memory
serves me correctly, what was used in the study was actually pudding
consistency.

It was my impression that the "honey thick" texture used in the study
was extremely thick, perhaps significantly thicker than the "honey
thick" texture used in many facilities.

Since I never use thickened fluids I must confess to not having
paid much attention to the various labela used. Reading the Logemann et
al study on thickeners and chin down it appears that the thicker
consistency (honey) was associated with a twofold increase in pneumonia.
Is this correct - that the thicker consistency is honey and this was
associated with increased respiratory dysfunction? One can't say that it
"caused" pneumonia because there are insufficent data to support such a
conclusion. The authors state that "It is likely that the increased
pneumonia in the patients who remained on honey-thickened liquids for
three months resulted from the reduced ability of the chest's ciliary
action to clear thicker material from the lungs" that would seem to
encourage the use of plain water instead.
