ASCORBATE HONEY COMPARED TO NATURAL BEE HONEY AND SUGAR
by Oscar Falconi

The average American receives from all his foods over 100 pounds of sugar per year, over double what is thought to be a prudent maximum. All of the products compared below are sugars and are very detrimental to one's good health. This even includes our Ascorbate Honey, since the few grams of vitamin C per pound will in no way be able to counteract all the harm that can be done to the body by that pound of glucose and fructose. So then, why do we offer our customers the Ascorbate Honey Kit?

For 8 reasons:

1. Many persons insist on having honey, no matter what the consequences. Bakers, for instance, must have honey if they wish to retard drying and staling as mentioned by Dr Stone. By using our Ascorbate Honey instead of Bee Honey or Invert Sugar, they'll at least have a safer, cheaper, and healthier honey that can be flavored to taste.

2. By using 1 cup of our pure Ascorbate Honey, instead of 2 cups of sugar, in all recipes calling for sugar, the amount of sugar ingested is decreased by 40%!! The number of calories is also decreased by 40%!! The same amount of sweetening is obtained due to the fact that honey is so much sweeter than an equal amount of sugar. Now you can decrease your sugar intake without risking the use of natural bee honey.

3. Our unflavored Ascorbate Honey is almost flavorless compared to bee honey and is therefore to be preferred in recipes in order not to alter the intended tastes when sugar is called for. Ascorbate Honey is so flavorless that it can even be used to sweeten tea and coffee.

4. At about 80 milligrams per teaspoon, our Ascorbate Honey is an excellent source of Vitamin C, 1000 times greater than natural bee honey. Table sugar contains no Vitamin C whatsoever.

5. Ascorbate Honey can be made for 1/4 the cost of store-bought bee honey. In fact, for sweetening purposes, one cup of Ascorbate honey is even cheaper than the two cups of sugar it replaces!!

6. Ascorbate Honey is cleaner and safer than bee honey and has no possibility of containing adulterants, botulism spores, drugs, pesticides, allergens, wax, bee remains, bee feces, or other "insolubles" from the hive. (And who knows what "solubles" have been introduced by the bees.) Ascorbate honey is OK even for infants!!

7. Probably most important of all, we've offered our Ascorbate Honey Kit for educational reasons. You'll get the pleasure and learning experience of making your own artificial honey. You'll also learn something of the biochemistry of sugar and the fascinating way the bee gets involved.

8. And finally, we offer our honey kit to bring to the attention of our customers, and to the world, the insidious nature of all sugars. Had we not offered our Kit, most everyone would, in their ignorance, for the rest of their lives, continue to ingest those 100 pounds of sucrose, glucose and fructose each year to the great detriment of their good health.

WARNING: Natural bee honey is often said to be a good source of vitamins and minerals and for this reason might be preferable to our Ascorbate Honey. Here are the facts: In order to obtain the U.S. RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of iron it would be necessary to eat 8 pounds of natural bee honey every day !!

From that point on it gets worse: For instance, 43 pounds every day to get your calcium requirement, and 75 pounds to get your B1. Natural Bee Honey is said to be a particularly good source of Potassium. There's no RDA yet for Potassium, however there's more in one banana than in 3 full pounds of bee honey. If you want Potassium, eat a banana - it's lots better for you, and lots cheaper. In addition, bee honey contains no vitamins A, D nor E whatsoever. Natural Bee Honey is not good for you. Sugar is not good for you. Even Ascorbate Honey is not good for you. They are not to be considered sources of vitamins and minerals. They should only be used as sweetening agents - and even then to be avoided as much as possible. We offer Ascorbate Honey for the 8 reasons given above - but be aware of the facts in this warning paragraph!!
