BENEFITS OF HONEY
Fact #1):
A recent FDA study found 76% of honey found in stores contained NO pollen and was derived from feeding bees a sugar water mixture. This means the mass produced 'honey' is void of all health benefits associated with naturally produced honey.
Fact #2):
Honey is incredibly healthy and includes enzymes, vitamins, minerals. It’s the only food that contains “pinocembrin”, an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.
Fact #3):
Honey has always been highly regarded as a medicine. It is thought to help with everything from sore throats and digestive disorders to skin problems and hay fever.
Fact #4):
The natural fruit sugars in honey – fructose and glucose – are quickly digested by the body. This is why sportsmen and athletes use honey to give them a natural energy boost.
Fact #5):
Honey lasts an incredibly long time. An explorer who found a 2000 year old jar of honey in an Egyptian tomb said it tasted delicious!
