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.

Store-bought produce is grown in poisoned soil, is covered in poison, and has often has poison in its cells (GMO “Bt corn” and others) — who in their right mind sprays poison on their fruits and vegetables just to kill a few insects — many of which don’t even hurt the produce? Organic means no poisons are used — but I have to agree with Rose, some people just can be educated

So Lucinda, you will be educated by extreme natural health news (organic is still a business) but you won’t be educated by science. Says more about your level of gullibility than anything else. GMOs are created so we don’t have to use pesticides, the pesticides used in organic farming.

GMOs were created so huge amounts of health damaging herbicides like Round Up can be dumped on plants and stored in the seed to be used for human and animal consumption. Bees will not even pollinate soybeans that are GMO.

Would “vegan honey” have same immune boosting effects of real honey, is it actually real honey or should it really be listed as a sugar replacement?

Super Store and Shoppers Drug Mart are selling honey labeled all natural when it actually comes from China and bottled in Canada.

This is so true….most honey in supermarkets are processed and from out of the country. Be careful buying honey from China. Ours is pure, right off the hive. Proud of our girls!

Make sure to buy local honey especially if you have allergys.

I don’t call it fake – but processed and that takes away all the benefits. If someone is going through chemo or has a immune problem raw honey should not be consumed.

You must be kidding-right?! They splice the Dna of the plant with glyphosate, which then makes every cell of the plant contain the glyphosate. We then eat the glyphosate in a new form. Also many scientists worldwide are against their unethical practice. Unfortunately many scientists have gag orders on them. Btw many countries are now banning genetically engineered foods for this specific reason.
Katherine Kleeb

Rhonda – you honestly believe that thousands of scientists around the world are lying about yen safety of GMO foods? Genetic engineering has been happening naturally since the dawn of plants. You have been brainwashed by the ‘organic’ industry (bigger and more profitable by the way) to believe anything you don’t understand is bad. Science is not the bad guy. GMOs have been created so that they don’t need pesticides, unlike organic foods which still use pesticides (the same one used by non organic produce). GMO are saving lives around the world because they can survive difficult growing conditions (like those found in the third world) and have additional vitamins and minerals.
Try reading a peer reviewed scientific paper that outlines the safety and benefits of GMOs. You may be surprised. GMOs are not the bad guy, your organic pesticides are.

Holy cow. The things people believe. I saw one woman comment (on a post similar to this one) about how eating GM food would alter a person’s DNA, and they would only realize “the truth” once they’d been irrevocably turned into a mutant.

Buy local and support beekeeper. I read a billy bee label it has Canadian and Argentina honey in it. That makes no sense at all. Support your farmers and you will get what you pay for. Local honey is good for allergies,

I was hoping the store would show the home test you can do with honey. I know it is something about putting a teaspoon of honey in a cup of water. And this will happen but what is that thing
