After ingestion, honey is converted directly into liver glycogen and does not result in the formation of triglycerides (fatty acids) as typically occurs after the consumption of common refined sugars found in the American diet. Honey does not trigger an immediate or excessive insulin release which results from the consumption of most artificial sweeteners, and thus does not promote fat production, storage and subsequent weight gain.Honey has an antibacterial effect an inhibits the growth of many bacteria strains, including the bacteria responsible for ulcers. Honey has been used in topical dressings to treat infected surgical wounds, burns, and skin grafts. Most enzymes found in honey are heat stable, therefore lightly heating the honey for short periods of time does not affect the enzymes naturally found in honey. Pasteurizing honey is primarily done to destroy the crystal structure in the honey and therefore allows it to remain on the shelf in a liquid form that will not granulate. Pasteurizing honey by heating it past 160 degrees for a sustained amount of time, destroys the enzyme content and greatly decreases its healthful benefits.Is all honey the same?more...See more text
