It has a lot of nutrients and it is healthy for you, but it's not a wonder drug.
I'm not going to debate this, I know this for a fact because I've already done the research.
Of course you won't debate, you would get torched.
no i don't have time for any serious debate
You do realize I used a combination of real scientific sources with news articles?
Scientists openly acknowledge honey kills bacteria. It's not a secret. But they are IN VITRO studies. Honey has not been shown to kill bacteria effectively in the body. period.
In the studies it actually shows percentages and figures.
I linked some of these numbers and gave keywords so others can look up numbers for whatever they are interested in.
The news articles are exaggerating the effects. The scientific sources are being misinterpreted by those who don't know enough about science to try interpreting them. I don't have time to go into the details. I know I'm right here.
Are you saying the studies are exaggerations? Or my attitude and demeanor itself?
Honey does have SOME medicinal properties. These properties are being greatly exaggerated, and many of the things being claimed about honey being a cure for, simply aren't true.

Awesome info and research!...Its DISGUSTING what is going on in the USA..Not only is honey good for many things but there are many other things natural out there that are just as good,herbs and such..Oil of Oregano come to mind and have it on hand always..Its all about money at the cost of peoples health and destroying earth..Btw i believe the honey that radiated is no good because the radiation killed the nutrients...Life here on earth seems so futile and hopeless when we realize just what we are up against.Monsanto runs the show it seems and is killing all the bees.....sigh.edit on 26-5-2013 by StarryNights because: (no reason given)

As the OP knows i have been experimenting using honey with my own medical issues. My symptoms have greatly improved since i started and i have been symptom free for the last 2 days.
Honey is very low in vitamin K, so it will not interfere with blood thinners, and there is nothing in honey that would thin your blood on its own. Read more: www.livestrong.com...

The fact is there is no coverup about the effects of honey. It's out there in the open: There really are some medicinal effects BUT they are weak. The problem is people like you exaggerate the studies, saying honey is some super cure for every disease.
I know this from both personal experience and much research.edit on 26-5-2013 by Ghost375 because: (no reason given)

Honey is intended to be eaten and processed by the bodies digestive functions.
Yes. There are many sources of vitamins, minerals, etc. in a healthy diet.
In theory most of the beneficial particulates should carry over into the blood stream, as many of them are vitamins, minerals, etc.

Honey is "intended" to be eaten by bees. Us humans steal it from them.

The fact that honey has antibacterial properties is not really a secret. You don't see much bacteria (or mold) growing on honey no matter how long you leave it in your cupboard.
BTW, what about the big "coverup" about aloe vera? Gonna hit that one next?

I knew nothing about it until after I actually researched into jargon-heavy documentation. That sort of seems to keep the masses out of the loop I feel.

By the way honey is the ONLY food that never expires!
Known as the Nectar of the Gods, honey has long been held in esteem for its medicinal and antiviral properties but, according to at least one beekeeper and several researchers around the world, it is also of great benefit for people struggling to conceive. 'Honeymoon' Have you ever wondered just where this word originates? Apparently it stems from Anglo-Saxon times when newlyweds would take honey every day for a month to increase fertility and maintain ‘bedroom performance’!
