Honey and Allergies

For a long time people have thought that eating local honey would help with allergies. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that this is the case.

There is a beautifully designed study performed by Dr. T.V. Rajan at the University of Connecticut where participants ate either local non-filtered honey, pasteurized honey, or corn syrup with honey flavor (the control group). Ten different allergy symptoms were measured. There were no differences between the two groups that ate the honey and the group eating the placebo honey.
