*HONEY*
In the old days, our forefathers ate wild honey.
The honey was seasonal and was only eaten during the cold season when they hibernated in their houses.
But nowadays, you will see a man who is evidently obese or skinny fat arguing with you how honey is healthy.
Modern honey has 80% fructose which is detrimental to your liver.
It is even worse than modern honey is processed and largely mixed with sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
How do you identify genuine honey?
1. Roll a paper, deep it in honey then light a fire on the paper. If the honey does not burn or sustain the flame, then it is fake.
2. Pick a drop of honey, place it on your thumb's nail. It should stick instead of rolling all over the thumb. If it spreads on the thumb, it is not genuine.
3. Scoop a teaspoon of honey, add it to a glass of water. Genuine honey will not dissolve all over the water, it will settle down at the bottom.
4. Turn the glass bottle upside down, the air should rise upwards slowly. This is genuine wild honey.
Up to 100% of honey that you buy is not wild honey. It is adulterated.
However, be reminded that if you:
- are struggling with weight
- have a fatty liver
- have an inflamed gut
- have pre-diabetes, diabetes, heart ailments or hypertension
Stay away from honey completely.
