I discovered something today!!!

Hi friends!

Did you watch news yesterday? Or read news paper in the morning today? If yes, I am sure even your attention would have been snatched by news, “Honey you consume, may contain antibiotics”. Am I right friends?

I always used to wonder, why I get severe mouth ulcers whenever I consumed honey. Some people suggested honey as a very good remedy for mouth ulcers themselves but with me, it was the other way round. I would tell them, no can’t take honey, probably I am allergic to it or say I can’t tolerate honey. But even I was not able to guess why I get ulcers while others just love to relish honey. Someone once suggested having honey with warm water, first thing in the morning. I did it religiously and believe me, I got so many ulcers that I was not able to talk for next 4 days. I couldn’t eat anything; I was on all liquid diet for that period!

What I wanna bring to your notice is that my friends, that we should not trust anyone/anything blindly. I’ve written this in one of my earlier posts also that blind faith is bad. While one medication may do wonders with somebody, it may not work at all for someone else. Our bodies respond differently to different stimuli. When we buy honey, we generally go by the name of the company that sells it. We put extra ordinary trust on the reputation of the company and blindly follow the advice of our well wishers. But some 12 reputed brands of honey were tested and to my utter surprise eleven were found to be contaminated with high doses (in varying quantities) of antibiotics. And the irony is that all these brands are called “Pure” by their marketers.

So friends, I discovered the reason to my reaction with consumption of honey; probably I was allergic to one or more antibiotics present in my brand of honey. Anyway. I just wanna say one thing again that please don’t buy or consume anything just because friends or advertisements say that it is healthy or good for you. Please exercise your own discretion before taking any step. You might be treading on the wrong path to your health! Don’t ruin your own precious health by falling prey to such so-called health foods, juices, tablets etc.
