"Honey, especially robinia, clover, and unprocessed raw honey, may improve.."
Scientific papers on the benefits of honey tend to be infomercials for the honey industry.
How do you figure it out? If the suggested "good" honey is limited to a specific geographic region. The local honey industry can benefit from the positive exposure. They don't do these informecials if the honey can be obtained from all over the world.
Where does the Robinia tree grow natively?

- syrgian 4y agoDoesn't "unprocessed raw honey" include all quality honey, anyway? My guess is that most processed raw honey is not as good (or even bad), but those (robinia and clover) might be better than the rest. Still, I would rather get unprocessed robinia/clover honey rather than their processed variants.
- adrian_b 4y agoAccording to the article, "processing" refers to heating. Most commercial honey has been pasteurized, which appears to destroy whatever substance exists in raw honey and has favorable effect on glycemia. Even using honey in a too hot drink or in a baked cake might eliminate most of the health effects of raw honey.
