In this section, Dr. Berg discusses the differences between raw honey and pasteurized honey, as well as their health benefits and potential drawbacks.
Raw Honey Benefits
Raw honey is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.
Mixing raw honey with apple cider vinegar, lemon, and water can help with allergies.
It contains pollen and other factors that can boost the immune system.
Raw honey may help lower blood pressure.
It is rich in B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
Drawbacks of Honey
Honey has 50% fructose and 50% glucose, which can hinder weight loss efforts.
Some types of honey have a high glycemic index.
Diabetics should consume Tupelo honey in small amounts due to its lower glycemic index.
Recommended Type of Honey
Manuka honey is a good choice for certain health reasons.
It is unprocessed raw honey with beneficial properties.
Importance of Choosing Raw Honey
Always choose raw honey over pasteurized honey.
Pasteurization destroys the beneficial properties of honey, leaving behind pure sugar.
Note on Giving Honey to Infants
Do not give raw honey to infants due to the risk of botulism.
Botulism can be dangerous for small infants but not for adults.

Today I want to cover the health benefits of honey. We’re going to be talking about raw honey, not pasteurized honey.
Raw honey benefits:
• It’s anti-microbial
• It’s anti-inflammatory
• It’s anti-allergy
• It helps lower blood pressure
• It has B-vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and potassium
Honey is a sweetener that also has a lot of good stuff. However, it still has 50% fructose and 50% glucose. This means it can slow down your weight loss, and it has a relatively high glycemic index.
Certain types of honey, like tupelo honey, are much lower on the glycemic index. If you want to consume honey, you may want to try raw manuka honey. This type of raw honey is unprocessed, and it has a lot of great properties.
Be sure that the honey you buy is raw and not pasteurized. Pasteurized honey is almost like pure sugar, and it’s potential health-boosting properties have been cooked away.
