heating of honey ?

[Guest guest]

HI

I got following interesting msg from one scientist of Germany. I

think you and other members would like to know it.

 

" All say, that heating honey above 40° C will produce toxins.

Is there any classical text about that, or any modern scientific

foundation?

I could only find that enzymes and other biological active

substances in the honey will became less active when heated above

45° C. There is only 1 toxic substance found in honey, called

hydroxymethylfurfural. More than 40 mg in 1 kg indicates honey of

less quality. For humans furfural can become toxic with intake of

more than 50 mg per kg bodyweight. But Dr. Steidl invented a

formula; which contains furfural against cancer cells. "

 

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Dr. Prerak Shah
