Quoting “they” (“When they actually went looking . . . .”)as a source makes your entire comment suspect and, therefore, useless. Botulism is quite serious and “they” does not treat the subject with respect, or even reliably. Be specific if you want to be taken seriously, or, if you don’t, don’t leave any comment at all.

According to Dr. David Baer of the USDA Agriculture Research Service, our body tolerates honey better compared table sugar. Eating honey is better for people with diabetic conditions as it is less likely to cause blood sugar spike.

Thanks for the comment BeeKeeper Tim and great blog – with the bee shortage we've been experiencing recently it makes the job you do all the more important. I'm hoping to start my own hive in the near future and become part of the solution. :)

Honey is one of the perfect sources for any skin care activities. Honey has the ability to absorb and retain moisture in skin and it is one of the ideal cosmetic variety that helps skin from getting dried.

While this article is good there is a lot that has been left out! Contrary to popular belief honey does contain sugar. It is sugar! However, its molecular composition makes it easier for our bodies to absorb and process. For diabetics it can be an OPTION, if used in moderation, for a sugar substitute since the glycemic index is lower than many sugar alternatives and more than table sugar. There are varieties of honey and as such each variety has its own flavor, color AND in some cases health benefits. All honey is not created equal when it comes to antibacterial properties. There is a special kind of honey that is used for burns, cuts, and antibacterial treaments. I'm a beekeeper and I discuss all this and more about the health benefits of honey and other bee products in by blog. If you are interested you might consider checking it out for more detailed information on what the author has already discussed. http://www.besthoneysite.com/honey-blog.html

Not only honey is greatly beneficial to beautifying people with its by-products, it also gives an alternative to people who don't want to consume sugar and use honey as an alternative. But for a honey lover like me, I buy creamed honey to spread on my toasted bread; and let me tell you this for starters, it is the most heavenly food (coupled with bread) you'll ever eat.

I love that blog! Thanks for your insights. And thanks to the author of this blog for the honey info. I find honey to be a versatile and amazing product. If I weren't so terrified of bees, I might consider raising it myself. :-)

Interestingly enough most honey does not contain botulism spores. You are far more likely to find it in canned goods, and corn syrup. When they actually went looking for it in honey it was actually quite rare to find. You see, the anti-bacterial properties of honey take care of that kind of thing. It was only found in honey that was heated (destroying the good bacteria) and filtered. And even then only in about a tenth of those kinds of honey.

Of course if you want a really healthy baby, it should live mostly on breast milk for the first year anyway.

It has to be local honey, which most honey you find in your stores will not be.
Also, ideally the honey should be unheated and unfiltered. You don't see much of that in your stores either.
I suggest you try to find a local bee keeper.

Also the biggest cause of allergies is leaky gut syndrome. So, you have to heal your leaky gut if you really want allergies to go away.

I tried honey for reducing my allergy symptoms, but it didn't seem to have much effect either way.

Honey contains a significant amount of protein, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium and dietary fiber. It does also contain trace amounts of many vitamins but it's not a significant source. I'm not sure how long you could survive off honey but the basic human needs (protein for muscles, carbohydrates for energy and sodium for many things) are met. http://www44.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=honey

I know that the spartans used to make their youth live on honey exclusively for a month as a part of agoge training.

Honey has so much property for the benefit health. In fact, honey is also often used to maintain the beauty of the skin.

By my math, taking into consideration 8 hours for sleep, 700 oz a day comes down to .6481 oz per minute, or 38.8889 oz per hour. As stated prior that honey contains little water, if this honey is taken with water, I don't see it being that far fetched to consume that much honey a day if that's all you have to subsist on. The more likely restriction is having that much honey available to you for any prolonged period of time. Just playing devil's advocate.

By the way, according to Wikipedia's info, in order to get the 60g of protein a human male needs per day you would have to eat 5.46 GALLONS of honey PER DAY.
(60g protein divded by 0.3g protein = 200 x 3.5oz (0.3g protein per 3.5oz honey) = 700oz divided by 128oz per gallon = 5.46 GALLONS.
I'd like to see you try to consume that much honey in one day.
