Honey: benefits and harms

Who does not know my Temko, I put a list of non-existent honey and honey there, which are most often counterfeited, who is interested - read it, it may be pigging.
Bees love honey very much # 643
Tanya, I understood, just the thought continued, not in spite of, but in continuation of thinking

Now on NTV there was a program "food is alive and dead", the entire issue is devoted to honey. Who cares, find it in the internet, take a look.
Oh, what places we have in Bashkiria !!!
And the milk will surely taste bitter after wormwood, the cows will happily eat this muck. :-)

Unfortunately, both on the radio and on television, such crap about bees and honey is being spread that uzOs. It's a pity I can’t see it, to comment, we don’t have a TV. And the Internet will not pull such traffic - however, the village

Mandraik Ludmila, there was nothing like that. :-)
They said that there were about 30% of fakes, the Chinese, as always, were ahead of the rest; that a fake cannot be identified at home, only in laboratory conditions; When testing from five samples of natural honey and one sugar syrup, the people with great pleasure choose syrup. :-)
Regarding the Bashkir honey - the places there are reserved, wild bees are preserved, they are protected and supported by the culture of wild honey (more for tourists, like expensive exotic), their own Bashkir breed is also bred, and there are still many linden forests preserved and half of all our flowers- honey plants grow in those places.
Some foreign specialist in honey came, he was delighted with the quality of our honey. They looked at the conditions for the world honey event next year, Bashkiria is one of the contenders.
They showed how cream honey is made at enterprises, and so on little things they told a lot of useful and interesting things.

How difficult it is sometimes to justify the desire to sell ... In response to the research, the comment at the end ... "As a result of research on the bottom of various reference books, GOSTs for products and other chemical experiments, I received such an answer. Although somewhat humorous, but absolutely Satisfied me: So, about oxymethylfurfural, which is supposedly a lot in honey. This substance is a marker for determining the quality of honey. Fake honey can contain quite a lot of it, according to GOST its content should not be higher than 25 mg / kg. In honey it is formed : a) with prolonged improper storage; b) with REPEATED heat treatment of honey c) when honey is counterfeited with sugar.If honey was kept warm for a long time, then oxymethylfurfural will be present there, but quite a lot, in order to be poisoned, it is there oxymethylfurfural is formed from hexoses (carbohydrates with 6 carbon atoms, for example: glucose, fructose, products of acid hydrolysis of sucrose (sugar) in the stomach ke) in an acidic environment. It is formed very slowly. If you dream of being poisoned by oxymethylfurfural, obtained from honey dissolved in a cup of hot tea, do not hope. Will not work. Its content there will be negligible. You will have to drink tea with a couple of kilograms of honey every day for several months. You will much more quickly "plant" the liver, gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, which can no longer produce enough insulin to break down sugar in the blood.
Personally, I would not advise you to put on such an experience.If you are so afraid of oxymethytfurfural, then stop using cognac, brandy, Madeira, Marsala, port wines, Tokay wines and lemonades (especially Baikal, Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola), which are tinted with burnt sugar, in no case eat candies, and categorically refuse tea with lemon. And in general, it is better to refuse sweet, especially in combination with sour, because oxymethytfurfural is formed from hexoses (saccharides) in an acidic medium, and there can be no other medium in your stomach. Sour berries compote with sugar ... What could be more dangerous !!!
There is also a lot of oxymethytfurfural !!! Stop buying popsicles for kids !!! And never, in any case, do not use ascorbic acid tablets with glucose !!! This is a sure way to get poisoned with oxymethytfurfural !!! I repeat once more - oxymethytfurfural is formed very slowly from sugars in an acidic medium. The presence of oxymethylfurfural in food is undesirable for the following reason: furan derivatives are poisons, large doses of them cause convulsions and paralysis, small doses depress the nervous system. The human body cannot metabolize these simple and complex compounds, which leads to their accumulation in the human liver and to the disruption of biochemical processes in the body. And here's the fun part: 25 mg. oxymethylfurfural per 1 kg. honey, it's already dangerous. Fake honey contains 30-60mg / hq. Horror!!! It's scary !!!
And in Madeira it contains up to 100 mg per liter and even more, and this is considered normal, and in moonshine - up to 220 mg / liter !!! How long will you eat a kilogram of honey, and how quickly will you drink a liter of Madeira? The permissible content of oxymethylfurfural in food is 4000 times more than mercury, 400 times more than DDT, etc. The lethal dose for mercury in the form of soluble compounds is 150-300 mg. No data could be found about the lethal dose of oxymethylfurfural, but it is about 1000 times more than the permissible one. Guys, it is IMPOSSIBLE to eat a ton of fake honey at a time !!!! So stop chemophobia !!!

However. The main result that we expect from eating food is the benefits and accumulation of benefits. Here is the gradual accumulation and concentration of harm in the body. And the amount of harm does not matter here if there is a simple possibility to avoid harm in principle. In nutrition, there can be no formula "GOOD IS MORE THAN HARM". Rather, the principle "USE, USE AND USE" will be correct. And the enforced degree of harm is only our defeat, our disadvantage. I urge culinary experts to resist the temptation to produce a delicious product at the expense of these simple principles.
