    3. Honey consumption reduces intracellular oxidative stress- the cause of many diseases and conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. *

    4. Honey consumption reduces metabolic stress by fueling the liver's glycogen stores and reduces the release of stress hormones from the adrenal glands. *

    5. Honey consumption allows recovery sleep to proceed uninterrupted by reducing or preventing metabolic stress. *

    More Details

    • 6. Honey consumption results in a significantly lower insulin response than produced by the same amounts of Sucrose or High Fructose Corn Syrups (HFCS,) and its regular consumption will result in less weight gain and without risk for diabetes. *

    • 7. Unlike eating HFCS, consuming honey does not lead to elevated triglycerides, and the fructose in honey actually protects against triglyceride formation. *

    • 8. Honey promotes restorative sleep, and restorative sleep reduces risks for hypertension. Drinking honey water before bed will fill up your liver glycogen level and give you brain all the energy it needs for a full 8 hour night's sleep; this seems counter intuitive to consuming high levels of "sugar" before rest, but honey is different.  *

    • 9. Honey lowers levels of HCY (homocysteine), an Amino acid in cellular metabolism and the manufacture of proteins. Elevated HCY levels are responsible for about 10 percent of the coronary deaths each year.  *

    • 10. By stabilizing blood sugar levels honey improves memory and cognitive ability.  *

    • 11. Honey has a direct effect on lowering cortisol level through its promotion of liver glycogen formation and lowering of blood sugar. Depression and anxiety are associated with elevated cortisol levels.  *

    • 12. Honey lowers cancer risks by reducing obesity. Obesity is directly responsible for over 100,000 cancer deaths in the USA annually. *

    • 13. The fructose from honey restores NAD the liver enzyme responsible for the detoxification of alcohol.  *

    • 14. Honey consumed regularly throughout the day in doses can prevent hyperglycemia. The reason for this amazing property is that honey consumption results in the direct formation of liver glycogen rather than causing an elevation of blood sugar.  *

    • 15. Honey contains over 180 different substances that have been isolated. These include 5 enzymes, 6 vitamins, 8 distinctive lipids, 12 minerals, 17 trace elements, 18 different acids 18 amino acids (proteins) 18 bioflavonoids (also known as antioxidants) and 26 aroma compounds.  Honey itself is more like a fruit than a sugar as classified by the FDA. Sucrose and HFCS are much simpler by comparison.  *
