Honey Adds Health Benefits, Is Natural Preservative And Sweetener In Salad Dressings

Salads dressed to kill.

"Antioxidant-rich honey is a healthy alternative to chemical additives and refined sweeteners in commercial salad dressings, said a new University of Illinois study.

'To capitalize on the positive health effects of honey, we experimented with using honey in salad dressings," said Nicki Engeseth, a U of I associate professor of food chemistry. "We found that the antioxidants in honey protected the quality of the salad dressings for up to nine months while sweetening them naturally.'"

The assumption that "antioxidant-rich honey is a healthy alternative" is unsettled at this point.

According to some studies, they kill you, give you malignancies, don't help your heart, don't lengthen your life and may shorten it.

Face it, they have no idea of what an "healthy" food is.

If you want "health," then eat healthily.

That is the best you can do given current knowledge.
