Wouldn’t it be upsetting if you thought you were buying some good old natural honey, when in fact you’ve just bought honey that had all the goodness taken out of it? Or worse yet, it being full of heavy metals and illegal antibiotics. We’re sure you know that honey can be very nutritious and good for our health. But what if you had bought the fake stuff? On the Next Page, learn how to know the difference between the real honey and the fake honey.

Vegetables and fruits bought at the grocery store have been through rigorous safety procedures – from farm to fork. You can grow plants in your backyard but that does not protect them from bugs, pests, animals (those that eat them and those that pee and poop on them). So yes I would say that produce bought at the grocery story is far safer than those you grow in your own back yard. The fact that you buy into all this organic nonsense says far more about you than it does about the processes put in place to keep our food safe.

Buy local is usually best to reap the benefits. Mine has big, fat sections of honeycomb on it. Cut it and watch it ooze onto the dish.

I think you need to do a little research if you believe that real honey from a local beekeeper is an inferior product, the taste alone is superior to “your usual store bought honey”. The pasteurized goodness you buy has the yeast heated out of it and 40% of the nutrients.Not to mention the fillers used.(read the ingredients) I know this fact because I work for an apiary. As for your fruits and vegetables,have you heard about GMO’s and that they have been banned in Ontario as well as a lot of other countries, not to mention the poisons sprayed on crops. Yeah I’ll grow my own and wash it before I eat it and I don’t mind sharing with the insects, they like real food.

Bonnie – GMOs are not banned in Ontario. Perhaps you should do your own research instead of believing the hype spewed out by sites such as this that are fear mongering so that people like you will rush out an buy their overpriced products.
Pasteurization was developed for a reason – to take out impurities that can make you sick.
I don’t care about insects, but I care about other naturally occurring ‘bugs’ like E. Coli and salmonella. Still, when you are hospitalized because of this ‘natural’ is best nonsense. Be sure to tell the doctors you don’t want any of their poisonous medicine.

It can also contain botulism, and (depending on the flowers the bees got the nectar from) can also contain a toxic element that causes paralysis. If you going to talk about the benefits, then you should talk about the dangers as well.

We’re bringing wild honey home with us from Jamaica where our friend stuck his arm down a deep hole in the rocks to grab the honeycomb from the wild hive…nothing fake here!

The only way to know, is to buy from a local beekeeper, or buy raw honey… The honey in the store, are all over processed! And have no health benefits to it… You might as well use syrup!!!
Barbara J Orcutt-Caughran
Feb 12. 2016
Sorry, but! Consumer reports, did a test on different honeys, from different companies, and found they all were over processed. And trader joe’s was one of them! They said if it’s not raw, it’s probably not honey…
Barbara J Orcutt-Caughran

No.

Feb 12. 2016
Consumer reports, said yes! If it’s not raw or unpasteurized, then chances are it’s fake… What happens is it gets over processed, in the heating of the honey, and the healthy pollens, the good stuff, gets taken out of the honey, then all your left with, is a syrup!

Not sure I would call it “fake” maybe adulterated or not pure as there is actually a fake honey made from apples for vegans or those who have issues with honey.

Pasteurizing is done only to give the honey a longer liquid shelf time before it crystalizes, as raw honey crystalizes quickly(that means its real raw honey). Why don’t you look up O.B.A. and do some research. GMO seeds have been banned in Ontario and some farmers are fighting it. Have you not heard about the bee decline because of all these poisons? You need to wake up…keep trolling for poisons, you are part of the problem.
Bonnie Foley

You just keep enjoying your GMO products, and yes they are being phased out of Ontario’s crops. As I said do some research…look up the O.B.A. and get the information.

I was thinking the same thing when I read the article. The headline is misleading and not actually true. Although the article is informative I’m left wondering if I can believe everything claimed in it due to the headline.

If you want to keep consuming your poison injected seeds, which grows through out the plant and is then again processed with more chemicals, you be my guest. You must realize also this is then used to feed animals as well, which will be processed with more chemicals as well. Happy eating…

I find articles like this really annoying. They spend 90% writing about why honey is good, etc etc-then tell you a few stores where it’s bad and a few where it’s ok. That’is NOT “learning how to know the difference”. Very misleading.
