Don't waste your money and risk your health with "funny honey" illegally imported from China

Raw, unfiltered honey is your healthie choice for health benefits. Your couldn't ask for a healthier sweetener, unless you pay more for New Zealand Manuka honey. However, there are several honey scams that deprive you of honey's health benefits. Some of the honey posers are absolutely unhealthy.

The best is pure raw honey. Adulterated honey is mostly real honey with additives, which should be listed on the label. Then there is imitation or fake honey. It is usually a syrupy concoction of cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup in water with coloring and additives and maybe a small amount of honey.

Pure honey has identification markings, POLLEN. Fake honey has no pollen.

Another way is to simply lie about the contents of 50 gallon drums, using fake labels of other items that match the funny honey prices. Since either method involves food brokers in the middle, retailers who purchase a good price don't ask questions. Again, your best bet is raw, unfiltered honey from a reliable source. It's worth the extra cost for its nutritional and healing properties. 

Happy Veteran's Day! Give someone you know a thank you for serving our country. Have a blessed weekend.
