Honey Is The Bee's Knees


Research is now proving what the natural health movement knew all along - it's only taken 50 years!

As an accident prone five-year old Tony's almost severed finger was treated with honey. Now some research at the University of California-Davis and reported on the Reuters Health site has provided scientific evidence of what we've known for more than fifty years - honey is more than just a sweetener. It seems the darker the better as the darker varieties contain more antioxidants.

Please make sure though that your honey is from a reasonable source - much of the mass produced honey is harvested from bees fed on glucose syrup which kind of misses the point really. As always the more processed it is the less food value it contains seems to be a reasonable maxim.
