Says
Community Medical Center Pharmacy,
Mara Hill. NC. 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.
