You seem to have wholly misunderstood what Graham wrote. I guess
reading is not your strong suit.

"...they destroy the organic and microbiological stuff in honey. "
What exactly does that mean and why is it a negative?

Again, most commercial honey sold is pasteurized, so are you trying to
say that raw honey is somehow intrinsically healthier and not only
better for you in some way, but that it mitigates allergies, too?
Nonsense.

How exactly do you think honey is used by most people? Iced tea?
Straight by the spoonful? Glugged by the pint? Cooking, baking, hot
tea....you know, the usual stuff is where most of it goes.

You are spouting bullshit. Really. You get not only the usual
criticism of anything anecdotal, but slammed for touchie-feelie
bullshit, too.
