The Nutritional Qualities and Benefits of Honey
Besides the Bible, the most interesting medical notes on ancient medicine come the record of Egyptians who were really honey addicts. One finds the that no fewer than 500 out of 900 known Egyptian medical formulas are based on honey.
The greeks called honey the " Nectar of the Gods". The nectar which bees gather from the flower composed of SUCROSE, a double sugar, the same as table sugar or a DISACCHARIDE. The double sugar is changed to single sugar or MONOSACCHARIDES, in the bees honey sack, consisting for the most part dextrose and levulose, 24 to 42% dextrose is glucose, also called grape sugar, and levulose is fructose. They are as different from each other as the right hand is on the left hand, which is very different in structural arrangement. Honey has a high content of fructose, which does not need insulin for its assimilation because it is absorbed slowly. That is why diabetic can it without any problems. Honey consist of 9 acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and pollen, which largely protein. 15 different sugars have been identified in honey, the result of the enzymatic and acid action. Honey increases the Hemoglobin count and fatty acid content of honey stimulates peristalsis.

Honey is acting rapidly a source of muscular energy and has a great value as a restorative. There is no better food to meet muscular fatigue and exhaustion. Honey itself contains some VENOM because the bee uses its sting for also the preservation of honey.
Honey should be natural, raw, unheated, unfiltered and unprocessed. Carbohydrates such as sugars need the B-vitamins in order to assimilate properly. Honey contains sufficient of the B-vitamins to digest them properly. Clarifying honey reduces the vitamin content from 35 to 50%. Honey contains all vitamins which nutritionists consider necessary to health. The dark honey, such as buckwheat and heather, are reacher in minerals than lighter ones and are also have more alkaline. Dark honey added to milk diet will increase hemoglobin or red blood cell count. Amino acids are present in honey as minor components.
