We’re eating honey that isn’t actually honey?

Ever think that the honey you see in most grocery stores isn’t actually honey? Probably not because, well, why would you? The bottle this mysterious substance is in claims that it’s honey. It smells like honey, looks like honey, and tastes (somewhat) like honey, but we now know that it’s not. After a series of tests ran by the World Health Organization, results have proven that over three-fourths of honey sold in American grocery stores is not normal honey, but instead a pollen-less substance that could be dangerous to our health and even fatal. While researchers are unsure as to why most honey in grocery stores shows no sign of pollen, many believe that it is because the honey is either actually diluted by other sugars, or ultra-filtered to cover up a deeper problem. If you are interested in learning more about the consequences of consuming this kind of honey, please check out the article below published in Food Safety News.
