An interesting fact about who is on the list: 13 of the brands of honey are “store” brands (made by others and sold under the in-house brand name of a store-chain - like “Americas Choice” is the store-brand for the A&P Company). That’s almost half of the list.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the store-brands listed were actually produced by the same owner of some private label brand on the list, and then packaged under some store-brand label. To the extent that that is the case, the testing results in such an instance should have been combined as the results for what is actually one product.
Also, I did not see quite a few of the Honey brands I have bought; brands that were not store-brands.
I think the science on this should not extrapolate the results to the entire honey industry, unless the sample pool was larger.
A larger sample pool may, at a minimum, reduce the average result for non-pollen-content.
So, I may be missing some nutrient in my honey; my cup of tea doesn’t notice; it’s just as sweet.
So, are you using Honey Flavored Syrup (such as at KFC, Popeyes and other chains) - which is little more than colored corn syrup - or is it really Honey?
One of the benefits of local Honey is the pollens, it will contain local pollens in the honey - which can actually help you with allergies (allegedly).
Given the relative cost of Honey and Corn Syrup - when I pay for Honey, I want to know that I’m really getting Honey. Otherwise, I’ll just save a few bucks and drizzle on some corn syrup on my muffins/toast.
