About
the Book
There
are numerous anecdotal tales on the medicinal benefits of honey. Recent
scientific studies provide convincing proof that honey is indeed a
medicine as well as a wonderful tasting food. This book documents
information that takes honey out of the realm of "folk
medicine" and places it firmly in the realm of "modern
medicine."
The
antibacterial properties of honey are covered in detail. For many,
incorporating honey into their daily diet can result in considerable
savings by reducing the amount of money spent on prescription drugs.
Honey
for athletes is also discussed with citations of studies showing
improved athletic performance when honey is consumed.
Several
chapters acquaint the reader with the many and varied flavors of quality
honey. Besides being a major ingredient of a healthy lifestyle, honey is
an inexpensive gourmet treat that can be enjoyed by all.

- Daniel Blodgett, M.D.
"...very
informative and well written. I highly recommend this reading for
everyone, especially medical professionals."
