Does all honey that is sold in retail stores produce the same health benefits as pure, unfiltered, natural honey?
A. The answer to this question is a qualified “No.” Honey used in the studies reported on in The Honey Revolution is honey that has not been heated or filtered (processed). Natural honey contains pollen and other constituents that are removed in the heating and filtering process. Processed honey, for the most part, is not used in research studies investigating the health benefits of honey as most processed honey is blended honey from many sources, making specific identification of its health benefits imprecise.
