I don't think honey poses problems, unless heated above bee
hive temperature (93F on a hot day) or filtered or strained.
I use comb honey or honeys labeled "unheated" (Really Raw,
Y.S. Bee Farms...). A few tribes ate unprocessed honey and
bee products (pollen, royal jelly, propolis...) as a staple
of their diets. Search the Weston Price site for info.

Modern diets (processed oils, sugars, starches, salt, and
dairy) contribute to alcohol complications. Saturated fat
prevents against alcoholic liver damage (providing we eat
enough of it and avoid an excess of unsaturated oils from
grains, legumes, seeds, and most nuts). We obtain quality
saturated fat from cold-pressed unrefined virgin coconut
oil, raw butter, and fresh red meat.

Is it a coincidence that most politicians, journalists,
and doctors tell us to avoid the fats which protect us
from disease, while eating unsaturated oils that weaken
our immune system, create cancer, cause strokes, damage
our organs, clog our arteries, and accelerate aging?
