Honey Scam 2020

Life is sweet when you have honey to eat.

Honey adds sweet in life and improves quality in health.

Really? Not when you buy it from the store.

Yes, artificial honeys are becoming more and more common which makes our life exactly opposite of what it should do.
Due to this Pandemic, people became too concern about their health and immunity which made the honey company's to see an abrupt rise in sales. From adding adulterant as a small allowed portion to leave natural honey a small portion we all have grown. Devastating!

Honey Contribution from India

Around 5% of the global contribution is done by India which makes the nation to stand at No 6 position in global market. Coronavirus has frightened every corner of the world. People are nowadays becoming more conscious about their health. Ayurvedic and siddha medicine have always held the benefits of honey high special respect. Indians give honey to their newly born babies on a weekly basis for various health benefits. This represents the importance of honey and stands next to mothers milk. 


 

The Scam 2020

Knowing about these mighty facts the corporate like Dabour, Apis Himalaya, and some other brands Listed in CSE(Center of Science and Environment) have manufactured artificial honey. They didn't even mention it in their Ingredients list. They bought sugar from The Chinese and for the custom clearance they listed it as "Paint pigment" . These Honey manufactures cleared C3 and C4 preliminary tests as per FSSAI standards. Post this, when the samples were sent to German for NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) test which was included as a part of testing from August 2020, They all failed. Dabur, who has its own NMR, didn't clear the test.

 

Consuming these honey on a daily basis increases Diabetes for the people. This scam is even bigger than the Citi bank scam - by Harshad Mehta. We thought of Increasing our immunity by consuming it but in return those brands are giving us threatening health issue to its customers.

Looking at the ingredients while buying a product is advisable but even there too, these brands cheated. So to test the purity of the honey just dip a sample of honey and lit it on fire, if it catches fire rapidly, it is said to be pure. And one more thing Natural Honey, Ghee and salt doesn't have an expiry date, unless or until they went through chemical process. 

 

Nutrients Present in Honey  
 
There are about 300 different types of honey produced by bees, and it entirely depends on the type of nectar being extracted. Each honey has a different nutritional value, So let us see on a percentage basis

It consists of 17% of water and 38% fructose and 31% of glucose(sugar). 

Apart from this Honey is used for various treatments like for eyes, piles, memory loss, cardiac disease, Ophthalmology, Oral diseases, anemia, antioxidants, and many more. Honey is also known as "Madhu" in Sanskrit.

 

Vitamins

Vitamins, a nutrition, helps to perform various health improving aspects and there 13 vitamins (A, C, D, E, K and B's (8)). 

But what we don't know is that, their specific quality does not always provide the necessary support and creates abnormalities (amino acid levels). Even more shocking is that, the addition of vitamins will improve your health not in your younger age but in your older age. The reason is, our body starts to absorb sugar less and the glutamine stabilizes which leads to proper nutritional intake.
 
Immunity

When a foreign body enters Immunity destroys it, but before that it need to pass through various stages in our body before it starts affecting us. Immunity are of two basic types
 
1. Innate
2. Adaptive or acquired
 
 
Innate immunity are considered to be skin, stomach, sweat, enzymes that act as primary source of defense. The adaptive once are the actual immune system which are more powerful and capable of destroying the external matter.  These immunities are gained from genetics of our parents or through our exposure to the environment. The adaptive immunity inlcudes lympho, bonemarrow, and different types of WBC (white Blood Cells).
 
 Relation between Honey and Immunity

A Laboratory test conducted on rats in California, states that rats fed with honey has increased erythrocytes and higher level of hematocrit which acts as an immunity booster. In another laboratory scientists found that consumption of honey also increased lymphocytes counts. When similar tests were performed on the humans, researchers found a small protective innate layer formed on the surface of the blood plasma. They conclude that this layer would have formed  due to the antioxidants properties of Madhu. Honey can be used to stimulate the primary and secondary formation of Immune stages.

Relation between Vitamins and Immunity

Vitamin boosts immunity, vitamins strengthens immunity, vitamins helps immunity to develop. All these are the most said terms about vitamins. So what's the relation?

Vitamin has micronutrients called carotinoids, antioxidants, fatty acids. Each represents different vitamins, and they all play a part in helping the immune system. By helping means, helping to support the function of immune system whenever we fell ill, infected.
 
 Do Vitamins Actually helps in Build immunity
 
Actually No, Vitamins are used to deterrent the deficiency diseases. As per our research all vitamins do not help to create Immunity directly. According the research papers Vitamin A tested on rats with two batches. One were fed with Only Vitamin A and the other doesn't. 
 


The result showed, the batch used to feed only Vitamin A didn't showed any alterations or deficiency whereas the batch which doesn't consume vitamin A  showed up weight loss in Thymus and spleen. This happened because the liver will extract every ounce of vitamin A present in our body. This batch is now more prone to attract bacterial infections. 
 
Similar research also took place, the results were the same. Each vitamin attracts different types of diseases, except for vitamin D.  
 
Vitamin D is used to produce T-lymphocytes which is one of the major factor of Immunity, Other vitamins used to stimulate the immunity or safeguard us from vitamin deficiency.
 
So to conclude this as per our research Vitamins do play a minor role in immunity and consumption of Vitamin pills is probiotic in some cases. Vitamins help in maintain the body parts in a healthy state which makes the immunity to become more robust in fighting against extrinsic matters. Eat healthy and exercise daily for healthy life.
