Eating This Type of Honey is Worse than Drinking Soda. It Contains Heavy Metals and Antibiotics.

Recent testing done by Food Safety News revealed that 76% of honey sold in stores in the U.S. isn’t real honey but rather, a fake honey product loaded with toxic syrups and sugars. Additionally, these fake honey products are contaminated with antibiotics and heavy metals.

Bees are fed with Corn Syrup and Fructose

Honey bee nutrition plays a vital part in developing and maintaining healthy and strong colonies. Carbohydrates are essential as they provide energy for all activities within the hive and during foraging. Honey bees naturally obtain carbohydrates by collecting honeydew or nectar. When natural sources are limited (as most crops are go corn and soy which bees do not pollinate) or harvesting honey by humans has removed a colony’s supply of carbohydrates, supplemental feeding by beekeepers is necessary and commonly done. Usually sucrose solution, inverted sugar syrup, or other syrups such as starch syrup or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are used for that purpose. This in turn creates a different type of honey that in fact has no nutritional value.
