Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 I've tried both, and I think honey gardens is much better tasting than really raw. I've exchanged several e-mails with Todd Hardie (owner of honey gardens) and am convinced that the honey is the purest available. ----- Original Message ----- From: kroserob Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 9:48 AM Subject: Honey I've been looking for unheated honey to mail order, and found a nice place not that far from me, Honey Gardens Apiaries, wwww.honeygardens.com.

Really Raw Honey is a distributor, and they have an independent lab test for pesticides. So maybe that's a factor. But if there's some important difference in quality, I'd like to know.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 If I remember correctly Really Raw Honey consists of a number of bee farmers from around the country and is not just one single source. There are a number of places that sell unheated unfiltered (yes both are important) and the taste varies significantly. As long as its truly unheated and unfiltered (and you must ask until you are satisfied with the answer) the quality is the same although prices vary widely. I personally buy my honey from Hawaii and it is quite exquisite though not cheap.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Honey is wonderful! It has more than 12 different vitamins... as well as hormones microelements and mineral salts! It also possesses bactericidal and antibiotic properties and facilitates detoxification of microorganisms --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a dollop of honey to your daily diet may help to fight your aging process, according to researchers from the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand. The researchers fed 2-month-old rats a diet containing 10 percent honey, 8 percent sucrose, or no sugar at all for 12 months. They were tested every three months to measure their anxiety and spatial memory. Honey-fed rats seemed to hold up better to the effects of aging. Specifically: Honey-fed rats spent close to double the time in open sections of an assessment maze than sucrose-fed rats, which suggests they were less anxious. Honey-fed rats were more likely to enter novel sections of a Y-shaped maze, which suggests they knew where they had been before and had better spatial memory. The researchers believe that a honey-sweetened diet may also decrease anxiety and improve memory in aging humans. The beneficial effects may be due to the antioxidant properties of honey. The study was funded by Fonterra, a dairy company that’s looking to market a honey-sweetened yogurt. No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.
