Science isn't your strong suit is it ? Look it up if you doubt me
,but microwaves ARE radiation - of a certain frequency , or wavelength .
So are X-rays and Gamma rays and visible light . ALL are
"electromagnetic radiation" . Now , about the honey . Because of the way
microwaves heat , that is by molecular excitation , they destroy the
organic and microbiological stuff in honey . We eat enough to make a
difference , my wife has cut way back on antihistamines and other
sinus/allergy medications . I never took much , now don't take any at all .

That is wonderful!! Whatever anyone else says, it is working on your and
your wife's health!

It is different for you because you are getting your honey fresh. How do
the jars compare?

Just to let you know, I won't be microwaving it any more
