They're Fucking Around with Our Honey (and Other Foods)!

The U.S. honey industry is involved in a sticky scandal. Pure, natural honey, long cherished for its nutritional benefits, is facing a purity crisis. Investigations have revealed a widespread practice of fraudulently mixing honey with high fructose corn syrup. This destroys the health benefits of real honey and deceives consumers, who pay a premium for what they think is pure honey. The inclusion of high fructose corn syrup, not surprisingly, boosts profit margins for unscrupulous producers. Also not surprisingly, a major culprit in this scandal is China. Sadly, honey is the third-most-faked food in the world, behind milk and olive oil. Genuine honey producers now face the challenge of restoring faith in this revered natural food. If you think the people doing this to our food should be drowned in their own honey, like and subscribe.
