Ahhh! Now THAT’S what I’m TALKIN’ about – THANK you! This is data that I can research.

Now what precisely is the difference between honey (which is the term used below) and RAW honey? What is done to it that precludes it being referred to as “raw�

(I don’t know that I would consider Whole Foods to be an impartial research group....but I do shop there for some items).

Me too, Raw Honey is beneficial in so many ways, if you are strictly talking about glucose, it is less, much less negative impact on blood glucose

Re: honey's effect on blood glucose

Honey may promote better blood sugar control. Proper fueling of the liver is central to optimal glucose metabolism during sleep and exercise. Honey is the ideal liver fuel because it contains a nearly 1:1 ratio of fructose to glucose. Fructose "unlocks" the enzyme from the liver cell's nucleus that is necessary for the incorporation of glucose into glycogen (the form in which sugar is stored in the liver and muscle cells). An adequate glycogen store in the liver is essential to supply the brain with fuel when we are sleeping and during prolonged exercise. When glycogen stores are insufficient, the brain triggers the release of stress hormones - adrenalin and cortisol - in order to convert muscle protein into glucose. Repeated metabolic stress from cortisol produced when less than optimal liver glycogen stores are available during sleep, leads over time, to impaired glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, diabetes, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and obesity.

Raw honey is not filtered or pasteurized.

Also most store bought honey comes from numerous places. Places that

aren't apparent from the label. For instance, a lot of the Chinese honey

is turned away from the US, by customs for chemicals in there. That

honey will then go to another country, be repackaged and sent right back

to the US. Most of this relabeled honey is not re-inspected. Sue Bee has

their ow inspectors, but since they are about the biggest importer of

honey from outside of the US. To me, that means to stay away from them.

Other honeys are actually a mix of honey from several countries,

including the US.

Local honey is usually raw honey and is harvested by your local people.

A lot of the time, it is in canning jars, but not always. That's how I

buy mine, from a local guy. Some stores do sell raw honey and raw/local

honey. Just have to search them out. For one store in a chain of stores

may have raw honey, but the others in the chain may not sell raw honey.

Honey from different locations can taste different as well. The same can

be also said from honey all coming from the same area. Just depends on

the season, the nectar source and other conditions. So if you want to

buy large amounts of honey from a local producer. Taste it first. That

way you won't be surprised down the road.

There are places online where honey can be found. Not necessarily bought

online, but those links will take you to local producers of honey. I

have four links listed below for everyone:

http://www.georgiabees.com/

http://www.honeylocator.com/

http://www.tnbeekeepers.org/#

http://store.humblehive.com/index.php?p=home

The above links are more geared to me, but if you search through them,

you can probably find a link or two for your area. Also, these links

aren't just about honey, but the bees as well.

And if you buy your raw honey locally you should never be bothered with hay fever! I buy from a guy about two miles from my house.

There are no cultivated hives close here, I wish I knew where the bees who come to my garden are living [we have a nice sized woods behind us- maybe two acres] I'll be making a Blue Mason bee hive for my garden area, next year, we get a lot of them. Maybe they'll give me some honey, just cuz.

Actually plain white sugar does have two redeeming things. The first one

and most important, is it can help heal wounds. It generally does not

harm diabetics if used this way. However, I would go with sugar if it

otherwise meant I would die. Yes, I am a diabetic! Number two use is for

barter, when the normal economy is strictly barter.

Honey can also be used to help heal wounds. Honey can almost always, if

not always, be used in place of sugar. The only bad thing about honey is

that a child under a year old, should never be given honey. Something

about their stomach not being ready for it yet, is all I know.
