Most (75%) of the Honey you buy in the Grocery Store contains NO actual Honey Whatsoever.

It’s true, the so-called “honey” isn’t even technically honey. Most of it is made of cheap “mystery” sweeteners, illegally imported from China, right under the nose of the FDA.

(NaturalNews) Raw, unfiltered honey is your healthiest choice for health benefits. You couldn’t ask for a healthier sweetener, unless you pay more for New Zealand Manuka honey. However, there are several honey scams that deprive you of honey’s health benefits. Some of the honey posers are absolutely unhealthy.

The best is pure raw honey. Adulterated honey is mostly real honey with additives, which should be listed on the label. Then there is imitation or fake honey. It is usually a syrupy concoction of cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup in water with colorings and binding additives, and maybe a small amount of honey.

Both pure and adulterated honeys have similar identification markings,pollen. Fake honey has no pollen. Honey can be legitimately filtered to remove wax and other large particles. But ultra-filtering removes the pollen completely.

Almost 80% of the brands from big box grocers and pharmacies tested by Food Safety News had no trace of pollen.Add 100% without pollen in those little packets of honey provided by airlines and restaurants. Products are listed here (http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/…). Despite even congressional demands that the FDA do something to curb the fraud, the FDA refuses. Maybe they’re too busy harassing raw milk providers.

“Ultra filtering makes no sense,” asserted Mark Jensen, president of the American Honey Producers Association. He went on to say no real honey producer would do that because it’s costly and diminishes quality.

But Jensen added this stinger: “In my judgment, it is pretty safe to assume that any ultra-filtered honey on store shelves is Chinese honey and it’s even safer to assume that it entered the country in violation of federal law.”

Chinese honey is fake funny honey that bypasses strict tariffs, imposed a few years ago to keep cheap Chinese honey from squeezing USA bee keepers out of the honey market. The reason it’s so cheap is that it usually has no honey in it! So how do they avoid the tariffs and keep that high markup intact?

Simply misdirecting the point of origin is one way. Sending it to Canada or Mexico, then changing the shipping labels there and sending the containers across the border is the essence of this shuffle.

Another way is to simply lie about the contents of 50 gallon drums, using fake labels of other items that match the funny honey prices. Since either method involves food brokers in the middle, retailers who purchase at good prices don’t ask questions.

According to reporters investigating, they don’t answer questions either.
This is probably not a Chinese conspiracy. The Chinese are having the same issues with funny honey on their grocery shelves.

Co-ops, farmers markets, and respected health food stores all had high marks from Food Safety News. Pollen showed up in all the products tested. So the worst honey you could get from them is adulterated, i.e. containing mostly real raw honey partially filtered with some additives. Again, your best bet is raw, unfiltered honey from a reliable source. It’s worth the extra cost for its nutritional and healing properties

AMYLASE works to breakdown carbohydrates i.e. starches, sugars
BROMELAIN taken from pineapple plant, helps break down proteins
HCL (hydrochloric acid) stimulates pancreatic secretion, activates pepsin and sterilizes the stomach from bacteria and parasites
LACTASE needed to break down lactose found in milk products
LIPASE works to break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
LIPASE improves fat digestion, stimulates bile flow, aids gallbladder
PANCREATIN contains protease, amylase, and lipase, functions in the intestine and in the blood
PAPAIN extracted from papaya fruit, aids in protein digestion
PEPSIN breaks down proteins, function depends on availability of HCL
PEPSIN works to breakdown protein into amino
• The more food that you can eat raw, the better.
• Eat as few over-processed and over-cooked foods as possible. The body has a difficult time digesting fried, pasteurized, barbecued, dried, and other over-processed and over-cooked foods which you find in boxed and processed foods.

**********************
In 1930, under the direction of Dr. P. Kouchakoff, research was conducted at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland. The effect of food (cooked and processed versus raw and natural) on the immune system was tested and documented.
Dr. Kouchakoff’s discovery concerned the l
eukocytes, the white blood cells.
It was found that after a person eats cooked food, his/her blood responds immediately by increasing the number of white blood cells. This is a well-known phenomena called ‘digestive leukocytosis’, in which there is a rise in the number of leukocytes – white blood cells – after eating.

Since digestive leukocytosis was always observed after a meal, it was considered to be a normal physiological response to eating. No one knew why the number of white cells rises after eating, since this appeared to be a stress response, as if the body was somehow reacting to something harmful such as infection, exposure to toxic chemicals or trauma.
Back in 1930, the Swiss researchers at the institute of Chemical Chemistry made a remarkable discovery. They found that eating raw, unaltered food did not cause a reaction in the blood. In addition, they found that if a food had been heated beyond a certain temperature (unique to each food), or if the food was processed (refined, chemicals added, etc.), this always caused a rise in the number of white cells in the blood.
The researchers renamed this reaction ‘pathological leukocytosis’, since the body was reacting to highly altered food. They tested many different types of foods and found that if the foods were not refined or overheated, they caused no reaction. The body saw them as ‘friendly foods’. However, these same foods, if heated at too high a temperature, caused a negative reaction in the blood, a reaction found only when the body is invaded by a dangerous pathogen or trauma.
The worst offenders of all, whether heated or not, were processed foods which had been refined (such as white flour and white rice), or pasteurized (a process in which milk is flash-heated to high temperatures to kill bacteria), or homogenized (also seen in milk where the fat in milk is subjected to artificial suspension), or preserved (chemicals are added to food to delay spoilage or to enhance texture or taste).
In other words, foods which were changed from their original God-given state.

Is a Child’s IQ Influenced by His Diet?

Is a Child’s IQ Influenced by His Diet?

By Dr. Stephen Boyd

It is generally accepted that diet plays an important role in achieving optimal health and wellness. It is one of the three Pillars of Health proposed by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) in 2010, the other two being nutritional supplementation and exercise.¹ The fact is, the vast majority of people in the developed world do not follow established nutritional guidelines.²

A recent study highlights the negative impact of a typical “junk food” diet high in refined sugar, fat, and processed and convenience foods on the intelligence of infants and young children.³ The authors examined the relationship between diet and IQ in nearly 4,000 children measured at ages 3, 4, 7 and 8.5 years. They were able to recognize three consistent dietary patterns at each of the age time points, which they described as “processed,” “traditional” and “health conscious.” The “processed” diet was high in sugar, fat and convenience foods; the “traditional” diet was high in home-cooked meals; and the “health conscious” diet was high in salads, fruits, vegetables, fish, etc.

The Diet that Decreases IQ

The clearest correlation found in the study was that consuming a “processed” diet in the first three years of life resulted in a decrease in IQ when measured at 8.5 years. In other words, as stated by the authors, Dr. Kate Northstone and colleagues, the results suggest a “long-term effect of diet on the child’s ability to learn.” You may not know this, but the brain grows most rapidly during the first three years of life. The authors of this study stated, “Studies have shown that head growth during this time is associated with cognitive outcome, and it is possible that good nutrition during this early period may encourage optimal brain growth.” The study also concluded that the “health conscious” diet had the opposite effect, resulting in an increase in IQ at all ages.

Good nutritional intake is vital for optimal growth and development. It is particularly important in infancy and early childhood because it is during these early years that the body’s organ systems, including the brain and central nervous system, are rapidly developing and maturing. The diet not only supplies the energy to fuel this development, it also supplies the vital nutrients necessary for their creation and maturation.

What clinical studies like this clearly tell us is that if the diet and nutritional intake are less than optimal, then the development and function of the brain will also be less than optimal. The other disturbing conclusion from the study is that the impairment in brain function, as measured by IQ, resulting from poor early nutrition appears to be permanent. The loss is still measurable years later. The individual may never reach their full potential. Such is the power of poor nutrition!

A Wellness Deficiency is Indigestion & gas.

The old saying “You are what you eat” is not accurate. It should be “You are what you eat if you’re eating good food and a few digest and assimilate everything you eat” I know there’s more to Wellness yet this is the basic truth.

With most “Degenerate Conditions” I will call them “Wellness Deficiencies” that 96.3% of the time are caused from toxins or malnourishment. The first warning sign that there’s a problem brewing much like a forest fire getting ready to start when it’s only smoldering ashes, come from symptoms indigestion (gas, bloating, belching and heartburn) before there is a indication of a Wellness Deficiency.cover up the symptoms actually enhance the aging process. When we eat the stomach secretes acid (HCl) and enzymes to break down the food so it can be absorbed by the tissues and cells of the body. The breakdown of food starts in the mouth (by the saliva and grinding, crushing of the food by the teeth) to the stomach then to the small intestinal tract and on to the large intestinal tract. In the small intestines bile & bacteria are also a big part of this process if digestion.

If anything interferes or stops the natural process and the food does not get broken down and people have symptoms such as gas and bloating. If they take an anti-acid this process gets worse much faster. Try supplementing with digestive enzymes, probiotics, fiber and HCl.

One nice thing about helping someone with these problems (symptoms) is that it works the first day. The first meal that they eat taking the proper supplements everything works correctly.  It’s not like you have to build the person up from a deficiency then see the results a month or two later.
