The Story of Honey
Honey contains
several compounds that function as antioxidants, which are compounds
that help delay the oxidative damage to cells or
tissues in our bodies. Known antioxidant compounds in honey
are chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C catalase, and pinocembrin. The
range of antioxidants found in honey is comparable to that in
apples, bananas, oranges and strawberries, and it contains the same
level of antioxidants as spinach.
A mechanism within
the human body signals when we have eaten enough of a natural sweet.
This mechanism does not respond the same to a refined or altered
carbohydrate.
· Honey is a great energy food
· Honey is a natural, unrefined food.
· Honey tastes good; honey is good; AND it contains food
elements needed by the human body.

complete. Nutritionists agree that honey contains some of every
nutrient needed for cell building, such as vitamins, minerals,
proteins and large amounts of various natural sweeteners. This makes
the health properties of honey truly different from the empty
calories of refined sugars.
Honey is a rich source of carbohydrates. In addition, honey
contains a wide array of vitamins, such as vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.
