In recent years, more information is coming out in favor of honey as a better alternative sweetener because it is not refined sugar.
According to studies that have been done and reported on www.naturalnews.com raw, unprocessed honey is known to be “a superfood that provides antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, carbohydrates, and phytonutrients.” Raw honey digests faster requiring little to no energy to burn off without oxidation, no shock to the nervous system or organs, and no cravings (Beck, p. 30). It is known to increases calcium absorption, hemoglobin count, and to treat or prevent anemia caused by nutritional factors. Raw honey can help arthritic joints. It fights colds and respiratory infections. It helps boost gastrointestinal ulcer healing. It works as a natural and gentle laxative, aiding relief of constipation. It supplies instant energy without the insulin surge caused by white sugar and it is known to be helpful against allergies and hay fever.
