Is Honey Healthy?

To be honest ... I was surprised when I read November 19, 2011 in the Nanimo News Bulletin that honey is most likely only healthy when one buys honey locally ... Then we know what we get.

Food Safety News published the results of tests that showed that the honey bought mostly in stores is NOT honey.
Over 3/4 of the honey could not pass safety standards established by the World Health Organization. It came mostly from China and India

WHY did it not pass the safety standards?? . . . Because pollen particles were carefully filtered out. They are the healthy part of the honey and they also show where a honey comes from. The pollen is taken out so that animal antibiotics and other contaminants cannot be found and traced to the land of origin

Therefore it is best to buy honey loclly directly from a beekeeper.
