The cosmetic industry has known for a long time, the benefits to be had using honey in their products.

It helps to nourish, smooth and clean your skin, it is a natural antiseptic and cleansing agent, known for its anti-fungal and anti bacterial properties.

Honey is great for aging skin.

Comparing honey to all the other types of sweeteners available, honey would definitely be the healthiest choice a person can make.

A teaspoon of honey has at least 22 calories compared to around 16 calories in one teaspoon of sugar. Even though the honey calorie intake may be higher, you need to use less of it because it is sweeter.

Honey contains no cholesterol, 22 amino acids (the building blocks of protein), vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It is a great killer of germs and bacteria, and is more effective than some antibiotics.

Studies have revealed the dark color honeys such as Wildflower and Buckwheat, possess more antioxidants than the light coloured varieties.

By using honey, you get all the added health benefits, which are not found in sugar. Brown sugar and raw sugar offer the same empty calories as white sugar, there is no difference.

Fructose found in honey, fruit and some vegetables, is a natural sugar which burns slowly in the body, to give you long lasting energy, unlike ordinary sugar.

When a person has a diet which includes sugar, the body needs to use its storage of vitamins and minerals to digest the sugar. In doing this, the body is then left without these important nutrients.

We need these nutrients to help the body dissolve fats and cholesterol. Without them, you will put on weight.

As honey already contains all these nutrients, you are more likely to lose weight. Honey also has a low gi, compared to sugar.

The body can easily metabolise honey, and is a great alternative for people who can't stomach sugar.
