I went searching for a credible study today and all I could find in the
limited time I had available were wild statements with nothing to back
them up. I'm always suspicious of any statement that starts: :Studies
show......." that have no links to recognised scientific journals. I did
come across one that had investigated numerous studies into raw honey
and found that they were all of very poor quality.
So, Terry, give us a link to a scientifically sound article on the subject.
AND, BTW, science IS my strong subject!!
