Honey has been one of the most “sough-afte” local products today as it brings a lot of health benefits including strengthening of immune system. However, not all honeys in the market are made equal. Some might look like one, but isn’t really the real one.
Recently, a study from DOST shows that 80% of honey sold in markets contain sugar syrup.
Dr. Bautista of DOST-PNRI explained the extent of impure honey proliferated the market. According to him, 12 out of 16 or 75% of local honey brands sold either in groceries or souvenir shops are not entirely honey. In addition, a staggering 87% or 64 out of 74 of local honey products sold online are impure.
These days, with COVID-19, there have been a lot of adulteration being reported because of the high demand for pure honey resulting from its medicinal and nutrient value. With the low cost and sweet taste of these impure honeys, many people are being tricked.
If you’re one of those who are buying honey to enjoy its wonderful health benefits, then make sure that you are purchasing a guaranteed pure honey or else you’ll end up buying a sugar syrup that can lead to harmful effects in the long run.
