Benefits of Honey

I think it pays to be skeptical of what a lot of nutrition authors write about, especially when they don't have any studies to back up their claims. In many of my health books the authors warn people to avoid both honey and sugar and claim that neither one has any health benefits. Recent research shows this may not be true. Study subject who ate honey everyday were found to have higher levels of antioxidants.

In folk and traditional medicine, honey is often used as a tonic and antibiotic.
