Honey
and table sugar provide similar amounts of energy with
little nutritional value. |
 |
Recent
evidence has shown that honey contains |
| |
~ a number of biologically active chemicals |
| |
~ chemicals that appear to function as anti-oxidants
and others as antibacterial agents. |
 |
This
is not surprising given that bees collect nectar from
a wide range of plants. Interestingly, commercial honey
is often treated with heat to make it less solid and
this process can diminish the level of biological activity
found in honey. |
