Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by Honey and Cinnamon as researched by western scientists.
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, chappati, or other bread, instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.

I won’t take the “which food is good for you test”, as I am happy to get food and to add any special requirements to the shopping that I ask Scott to do, might be the final straw.
He hates shopping and once the basket is full, he is done, forget the rest of the list.
I used honey on the goats udders, if they got it cut, it heals in a hurry and does not leave chemicals in their milk.
I will try the honey and cinnamon on toast, as I have always like cinnamon toast.
Thanks for the info.
