The best way to buy what you eat is to buy local. Local, local, local!!! This is so true concerning HONEY. Did you know that most HONEY sold in "BIG GROCERS" comes from massive bee farms where bees are fed "High Fructose Corn Syrup"(HFCS) and other sugars, and there hives are lighted 24/7 to further production? How crazy is this? Check it out. Read the honey labels next time you are in a BIG grocer and see what you find. I bet you will see HFCS and caramel coloring!!!
At www.sciencedaily.com I read, "High Fructose Corn Syrup, when exposed to warm temperatures can form hydromethylfurfural (HMF) and kill honeybees. Some researchers believe HMF may be a factor in "Colony Collapse Disease", a mysterious disease that has killed at least one-third of the honeybees in the U.S.A.. Studies have also linked HMF to DNA damage in humans. In addition HMF breaks down in the body to other substances potentially more harmful than HMF!!!"
When you buy locally-produced honey you are getting a natural product with nothing added, and it has the benefits of resisting allergens that are specific to your locale. Buy "pure, raw' honey. The truth is so sweet!
