ok real quick here.
1 motherfarkers have used fake science to manipulate people for a long time. adam ruins everything did a great job explaining it.
2 motherfarkers have discounted things that work when they knew it worked just because money. see ama's war on chiropractic.
3 warpedrotors what you are trying to say is your opponent is using the logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc. an event or effect following another event in time is not reason to declare causality (or any of another couple dozen other ways to say it) this is the reason anecdotal evidence is not really evidence. no need to be a dick about it. try to explain, that while you understand how he feels, you cannot make assumptions on causality. when you have the truth on your side, which you do, you need to be calm and persuade. if you cant then move on.
4 there will NEVER be a study on honey and allergies because no one can make money on it so no one will pay for it. sad really. this does not mean it dosent work for some. it means that we will never know because no one can make any money if it is determined to actually work. so the likely hood of ever finding out by the scientific method is almost nill
5 there is honey that is used as a psychedelic drug because the bees feed on a certain flower. to me that proves that honey could certainly end up with some benefits other than taste so.....
6 calm down all keyboard warriors. we are in this together. no need to fight each other.
7 lastly and most importantly. i read here to learn. the guy that explained why bees for hire honey is not as good as bees for honey taught me a lot about honey and once again showed that honey is more than just sugar. and at the risk of redundancy "honey could certainly end up with some benefits other than taste so....." so thank you to all who have provided info on this explaining all the skullduggery surrounding honey. i have been educated.

Quote from maggiemay000 View quoted comment :
I know Nates and Apiterra are mostly syrup. They separate after a while. Costco brand seems mostly real. Amazon brand you can tell by the price its highly filtered syrup.
Not speaking for the quality of these two brands. But all honey crystallizes over time. The more processed/filtered/heated it is, the longer it will go before crystallization. Floral source also plays a big role in that.

The honey my bees collect here in Iowa is coarsely strained to remove wax and other bigger pieces of debris. It crystallizes in a matter of weeks or a couple of months, I gently heat it when I bottle and because most all of my customers want liquid honey. But it goes right back in short order.

Most of the stuff you see on the store shelves has been heated and pumped through filters that take out "the good stuff" because that's what the crystals build on and if you take more of that away, it crystalizes much more slowly. I've never bought raw honey from a store, one thing that is VERY important to know is that "raw" carries with it absolutely no pedigree. Meaning the raw honey you see on a store shelf is *probably* no different than the honey next to it that doesn't say that it's raw.

I sell a lot of honey priced $6-8/pound and it is mostly to people who have left this other stuff behind and have embraced the much better flavor of more lightly processed honey. Now if you've got eight kids and they're ripping through a pound of honey every couple days or if you're baking with honey heavily... that's a different story.

I personally don't think there's really any health benefits to local honey, there's no research to bear that out. But a lot of my customers swear that they feel better for it. It's most likely placebo. I have never and will never make a claim that local honey is going to help allergies or anything like that and I tell my customers who ask about that honestly that there is no research to suggest that.

Honey has become such a wildly manipulated product that I'm not sure what I'd trust anymore. There are "viral" honey tests and they are absolutely not true, you can't dump honey in water, to start it on fire, or things like this in order to test if it's cut with syrup.

Will this work ok for making mead? I've done it before, and I think I paid like $5/lb a few years ago. At this price, I could get more bang for my buck.
That's my plan!

This isn't really a reply to the OP because I am not really objecting to their statement. I just want to clarify that there is evidence that local honey is beneficial for allergies, mostly labeled as Allergic Rhinitis, however, there hasn't been a lot of research. There is some inconsistency in the literature regarding benefits, but if there is a benefit of local honey it's likely associated with unpasteurized honey used as an adjunct. There is no evidence that pasteurized honey provides any benefits to Allergic Rhinitis.

Now, there are health benefits to honey that go beyond allergies: pain relief and wound healing. These studies tend to use specific honey (Ceiba pentandra and Manuka honey) that you won't find in your local big-box grocery store. The effects of these products are documented but the explanation as to why they work remains unclear.

This [ac.uk] is a bit dated but an easier read on the topic. This one [file.io] is from 2021 but contains more technical language. They both come to similar conclusions: honey probably does help with allergies but we don't know enough to say when, why, or how.

If you know a local beekeeper that collects pollen from their bees that is most likely to help prevent allergies, but beware that you are consuming the allergen and could have adverse reactions (such as not being able to breath). The idea here is that you expose yourself to increasing concentrations of pollen such that eventually, your body doesn't respond to normal aerosolized quantities.

As for crystallization goes, warming honey removes the crystals just as you said. We actually keep a jar of crystallized honey because it's cheaper than buying whipped honey and makes a good spread for toast and starchy vegetables. But, it has nothing to do with health benefits - it just tastes great.

To you? That is a massive sample size. Better use SAS to crunch that data set.
SAS is a thing of the past. Time to learn the Python ways.

My subscription order is finally in, but the price isn't what I expected. The order details say It's $7 (minus 5% sub). Guess I'm cancelling.

Not a placebo affect. I have suffered from seasonal allergies my entire life. I went from daily prescription medications and shots to nothing. I assume it is all coincidence right? I mean it has to be because you don't believe it is possible? Good grief dude get over yourself.

The post you reference was referencing the fact that the guy I was replying to didn't bother to answer a simple question. Maybe read a bit before spouting off.

The internet is only an information tool if used correctly. Of course it is not the only tool and the only one that seems butt hurt here is you.
I'm really sorry to inform you but you are infact replying in a very "butt hurt" Manor. Also, since you're such an expert at parsing information on the internet, why did you fail to see my welcoming you proving me and him wrong with a real study or scientific references? I mean, I threw that out there and you just came back with more opinion which kind of proves my original statements.

There are some people here posting some very good arguments on both sides and seem to have vested time in it. Go read some of those posts cause I'm really not that interested in the subject. Unless you want to reply to me again... and in doing so, yet again prove how driven by emotion you are.
