also ...what is the benefits of organic and non-organic raw honey?

Any help is appreciated...

Answer:

I eat raw, unfiltered organic honey and it's delicious. My understanding is that the primary difference between raw, organic and "regular" honey is the processing, which involves the use of a couple of fungicides/antibiotics. Raw, organic honey does not contain these fungicides, while processed honey often does. Also, raw honey contains more of the natural antioxidant and antibacterial properties than processed honey. Check out www.drweil.com and search for honey. He lists a number of benefits, such as a natural anti-inflammatory. Hope that helps.

There are many benefits to raw honey vs processed honey. The heat from the processing alters and lessens many of the wonderful healing actions that honey provides, such as:

increasing calcium absorption

can increase hemoglobin count and treat or prevent anemia

caused by nutritional factors

when combined with vinegar, can help arthritic joints

fights colds and respiratory infections of all kinds

when used externally, speeds the healing process

can help to boost gastrointestinal ulcer healing

works as a natural and gentle laxative

provides an array of vitamins and minerals

supplies instant energy without the insulin surge caused by white sugar

Raw honey also contains a good number of live enzymes which are required for proper functioning off all the bodies organs.
