Guest guest Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 Honey: The Wonder Food Ancient civilizations used honey for wounds and scars, and Hippocrates recommended honey to combat ulcers. Although many of the claims made today about honey's beneficial properties are circumstantial, this is one item that you can consume for just about any reason you want to claim and it will not hurt you. Honey consists of simple sugars, which break down easily in the body, so it provides quick energy. It is processed very little, so it's healthier to use than sugar. And if you choose to believe the anecdotal evidence, it can help everything from a sore throat and sleeplessness to minor scratches and cuts. Here's just one recipe for the cold and flu season: a glass of hot milk, one or two teaspoons of honey and a shot of brandy. Mix it up and down the hatch to sooth that rough throat and help you rest.
