Honey & Health E-NewsThis e-news is dedicated to bringing Benefits of Honey visitors interesting news related to honey, food, health and nutrition issues, which I think are really worth a read. Enjoy! May 2008, Nagging Service for Dieters
I am not sure how pragmatic or popular this new service by
WeightNags
will be, but at least it's an interesting (almost bizzare) concept -- pay USD 4.95 per month to be nagged at relentlessly and mercilessly on the phone until you get some exercise.
March 2008, Getting Out of the Sticky Business
You know about
liquid honey, cream honey
and how messy it can get when dropping them into our tea and coffee, don’t you. Ha, interestingly, there is now a new honey product by Island Abbey Foods that you can hold in your hands! Definitely looks like a premium and healthier alternative to sugar cubes to me.
September 2007, Honey’s New Snobmoddity Status
Wow, awe-inspiring. Now there is this word called snobmoddity to describe a mundane commodity that’s been transformed into luxury item to offer consumers a bewildering number of varieties of what was once an invisible part of our daily life, for instance, rice, corn, chocolate, coffee, and bread. And some honey suppliers are painstakingly packaging, marketing, and selling their products in an unconventional way by presenting the liquid gold in test-tubes, hand-sealing bottles with beeswax, and emphasizing the unique
flavours of different varieties
to give a honey's new star status just like premium coffee, tea and wines.

May 2007, Bees’ Mysterious Disappearing Act
In 24 states of America, beekeepers were shocked to find their bees missing, threatening not only their livelihoods but also the production of numerous crops. And the strangest thing is nobody knows why. Speculations of the cause included the unusual hot-cold weather fluctuations due to global warming and the increasing use of chemical pesticides. Many started to question about the lessons humans can learn from this and if
Albert Einstein
had ever predicted: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live”?
