The Truth About Honey Adulteration and Delicious Curd Combinations

Honey is the third most adulterated food in the US, with small amounts of real honey mixed with cheaper sugars and syrups. This makes it difficult for consumers to know if they are getting the real deal or not. While fake honey is not a threat to public health, it lessens the positive effects of real honey, such as anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants. The USDA has a grading system, but it is not mandatory for honey to be inspected and graded before being sold, leading to fraud.
