Tel 6t?2?l "Honey" off a pharmacy^ What do terms such as "pure, raw, natural, unpro cessed, unhealed, unfiltered, or organic" mean when des cribing honey? Except that cut with com syrup, all honey is "pure and natural" Yet, through heat ing and filter-pressing, honey packers may remove pollen and sugar crystals to ensure uniformity and shelf life. Honey that has not been healed or filtered, therefore, is "raw, unprocessed, unfil tered, and unheated." Tip: Save your money on so-called "organic" honey ? this is virtually an impossibil ity. Spend your money, in stead, with us. We're a "honey" of a pharmacy! Stay on top at a pharma cy that puts you first. Bill Powell.
