jim lyon 11 #1 Posted April 9, 2022 Hi, While I'm keen to tune up my diet, an all too common problem is healthier foods are more expensive, & I'm a pensioner. - Given that, can anybody tell me where I can get VALUE FOR MONEY 1) TAJ MAHAL brand ghee 2) Organic HONEY I live in Shiregreen & with my free bus pass can easily access most places close to the usual bus routes in Sheffield, though Sheffield center is more convenient. TIA Cheers, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lindylou53 18 #3 Posted April 9, 2022 What is the difference between organic and non-organic honey?(apart from the price?!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jim lyon 11 #4 Posted April 12, 2022 It tastes a LOT better, doesn't go off so easily & most of all, it's NON processed. If you start to look @ the processed junk food we are palmed off with, it's actually quite poisonous - especially sugar as that can cause - cancer/diabetes & is THE biggest cause of tooth decay! - The sugar mixes with your mouth saliva, to form acid which rots your teeth ! That could have been a 4 hour conversation, butI'm in the library ^ about to be timed out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Honey does not go off and because of that it can and is used as a preservative. Sugar does not cause diabetes. The biggest cause of tooth decay is bad dental hygiene! Glad to help.

fools 447 #7 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Your stomach, pancreas, liver and mouth bacteria don't have a clue about the source of the sugars and saturated fat in honey and ghee. Fructose is Fructose. Unadulterated honey is never going be cheap for obvious reasons. Type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity and high glucose levels, and tooth decay has long been linked to sugar intake. Honey is full of sugars.
