Lol. maybe I will say it this way if you are already taking too much sugar on daily basis, don't you think you already have a very bad diet? No one should even be worried about daily sugar intake if he has a good diet to begin with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic March 1, 2016 Share March 1, 2016 (edited) Very little info on why this product is taken off the shelf. Anyway if got time do some reading. http://healthywithhoney.com/is-manuka-honey-safe-to-eat/ We ask this question because manuka honey contains MGO. So, is manuka honey safe? What is MGO anyway? MGO comes from Methylglyoxal and is a substance belonging to dicarbonyl group (a group of toxic substances). Manuka honey contains very high levels of this substance (over 1,000 ppm), hence the concern regarding its safety. How toxic is it? MGO is the main precursor to Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs)(wikipedia link). These are harmful compounds that can affect nearly every type of cell and molecule in the body and are thought to be one factor in aging and in some age-related chronic diseases. These substances can lead to the development or worsening of many degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, eye cataracts, cancer and diabetes. They are also believed to play a causative role in the blood-vessel complications of diabetes mellitus. AGEs speed up oxidative damage to cells and alters their normal behavior. It is also true, that our body can detoxify this compound with the glyoxalase system. This enzyme system exits in any living creature, from the simplest life forms to mammals. Which should again, makes us realize the importance of detoxification of MGO. Normally our body can detoxify these compounds, when they are found in some limited quantities. But our today lifestyle is working against our health, and we need to detoxify more and more MGO. Among others. Can we afford to add some other huge quantities of MGO from manuka honey? We need to consider very well the possible good effects as well as the negative ones. What contains MGO? • Methylglyoxal is present in many foods and drinks, including coffee, and is produced during glycolysis and sugar fermentation. There is more MGO especially in roasted instant coffees, decofeinized or brewed coffee and soya sauce. Many other foods also contain MGO, (but less than 10 ppm, even in bread at 0.5 ppm or beer at 0.03- 1 1 ppm), but that is a much smaller percent. Some manuka honeys has over 1000 ppm, and this increases in time (as shown below.) So there cannot actually be a comparison.• It is produced by many strains of bacteria present in the intestinal tract.• It is also present in tobacco smoke. Some dietary glycation compounds in foods may pose a health risk. Others, such as the so-called melanoidins in coffee, may also exert beneficial effects by inhibition of tumour-related enzymes. (according to professor Henle) There are a whole lot more to read in the link. I just extract a few paragraph.

Little_prince Supersonic October 8, 2016 Share October 8, 2016 (edited) have you all tried this, put a spoon of honey in a bowl and then put some water inside ... will the honey remain as a blob or will it pan out into a honeycomb pattern ? i saw on a blog before before Too curious to dismiss it, I followed the instructions given: 1. Put a blob of honey onto a light colored round plate. 2. Pour in some cold water to cover the honey. 3. Swirl the plate several times. 4. If the honey is pure, you would see a honeycomb image/pattern on the honey. And the outcome? Right before my very eyes, with a couple of swirls, I saw a honeycomb pattern consisting of big hexagonal shapes form on the surface of the honey patch, and with several more swirls, the hexagonal cells split into smaller ones, and here's a snapshot of what was observed: Edited October 8, 2016 by Little_prince 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
