Honey is a sweetener that has been used for thousands of years. It has some health benefits as well as some negatives. In the end I will answer whether honey is something you should have in your diet or not?

Negatives of Honey:
1. Most honey produced today is void of vital nutrients.
-A study performed at Texas A&M University found that 77% brands of honey contain no pollen.
-The honey is heated and ultra-filtered, removing the protein, antioxidants, and vital nutrients that are found in real, raw honey.
2. Honey does contain sugar, in the form of fructose.

Benefits of Honey:
1. Raw, local honey is packed with health-boosting pollen.
2. Pollen, found in raw honey, can help boost the immune system.
3. Pollen, found in raw honey, can also fight allergies.
4. Raw, local honey can help heal wounds.
5. Raw, local honey can fight off bad bacteria.

Conclusion:
-Honey does not get â??choppedâ? on the chopping block.
-Raw, local honey is an excellent, all-natural sweetener to be used in moderation.
