This is highly upsetting, as all SCD-ers spend so much time on buying quality foods as medications for their bodies. This story really should be a public service announcement- this is important to know, especially if you are on the specific carbohydrate diet. How do they know it's fake? The samples bought do not contain pollen- the very definition of honey:
from merriam-webster.com/dictionary/honey:
Definition of HONEY:
1a : a sweet viscid material elaborated out of the nectar of flowers in the honey sac of various bees
So what is the fake stuff made out of? " It is difficult to say for sure, as pollen is the key to verifying that
honey is real. According to FSN, much of this imposter honey is more
likely being secretly imported from China, and may even be contaminated
with antibiotic drugs and other foreign materials." is what the article says from FoodSafetyNews.com
Read these articles- they are alarming and informative and pass this along!
Wow! I had no idea. That's crazy. Only buying local farm honey from now on. I'm assuming they have not corrupted their honey.
ReplyDeleteI would hope so; I just bought two giant 6 pound jars of honey from a health food store that gets their honey from a local apiary and they were only $20 dollars each- I assume they are safe, not to mention way cheaper than getting honey from a grocer anyways! Thanks for your comment btw- I love your photography!
