The most popular honey myths or as I learn a lot of interesting about honey

It would seem we know everything about honey. But even such useful and everything the product is known acquires various myths. Here the most popular of them.

1. Liquid honey is better zakristallizirovanny

As they say: "Tastes differ". Someone has more to liking liquid honey, and to someone zakristallizirovanny. Usually in two months after pumping honey begins to get thick and it is absolutely natural process. But as for its curative and tastes, they remain invariable and at appropriate storage of a product for a long time remain in it.


2. From honey recover

Honey has sweet taste at the expense of the glucose which is contained in it and fructose which belong to plain carbohydrates and are quickly acquired by an organism. Moreover, honey regulates a metabolism and accelerates metabolism and therefore it is resolved even at the most strict diets. And still it is almost twice more sweet than some sugar so to fill standard daily rate of "joy hormone" it is necessary very little.


3. Honey is considered strong allergen

Yes, the allergy to honey exists actually and scientifically "idiosyncrasy" or in other words "genetically determined individual intolerance of separate components of honey" is called, but it occurs no more, than in three-four percent of people from total. Another matter when honey low-quality or artificial and an allergy can arise because of:
a. medicines which beekeepers treat the bees, for example for pincers of a varro.
b. inappropriate processing of beehives or accidental hit of means for processing in honeycombs.
c. if honey the artificial, and contained in it starch and sugar of poor quality.


4. Honey needs to be taken on an empty stomach on one tablespoon before food

Honey is not medicine, and full-fledged food product though of course it promotes strengthening of immunity and simplification of catarrhal symptoms. Honey does not demand any certain schemes of acceptance inside, it can be used at will, the main thing not to exceed legal standard daily rate. And the cup of herbal tea in a prikuska with fragrant honey promotes fast falling asleep and a sound quiet sleep.

5. Honey cannot be stored in plastic ware

In the container made of food plastic according to requirements of state standard specification and having the corresponding certificates, honey can be stored, but it is desirable no more than a year. Such plastic is safe as it does not emit toxins and other harmful substances. About other rules of storage I wrote in the previous post.


6. Honey cannot be heated as becomes cancerogenic

It is, perhaps, the most widespread myth also still causes a heap of disputes and contradictions. The fact that honey when heating over 40 degrees loses a part of the useful properties, including bactericidal, is proved by scientists several decades ago. And here about poisons and toxins, allegedly allocated hot honey, there are no scientific proofs still. As completely natural product in which initially there is no small impurity also something poisonous can be toxic suddenly only thanks to thermal treatment? It turns out that all pastries, including us so favourite Honey pie cake, the Bee cake and honey gingerbreads are unhealthy too, their structure contains honey which in an oven is exposed to influence of high temperatures. Of course it not so, and carcinogenicity of heated honey no other than next internet intimidation.
Another matter artificial honey with a heap of artificial ingredients and artificial fillers. Can happen to such "pseudo-honey" anything.
