You know, I kind of wonder about this. Heating honey may deactivate some enzymes and so on and make it ineffective for certain things. However, even sugar is supposed to have beneficial effects when put onto a wound, drawing and sterilizing, so I would think that honey would at least work in a similar manner, regardless of whether it has been heated or not.

Real honey as extracted from the combs will contain bits of wax, pollen beads, propolis, and bee body parts. This will not sell in stores. I know of no way to put the organic title to honey as the bees will travel up to fifty miles away. If someone is touting organic then their honey must come from a very remote island at least 50 miles from any other land. Heating above 105³ F kills the beneficial enzymes. Microwaving honey also destroys the enzymes. "Typical honey analysis: Fructose: 38%, Glucose: 31%, Sucrose: 1%, Water: 17%, Other sugars: 9% (maltose, melezitose), Ash: 0.17% ..

I know that coffee is supposed to help detox the liver.Does honey have a different effect? Also, does it matter what type of honey you use? ________________________________ How low will we go?
