Other Benefits Honey Has
Honey comes with some extra perks that go beyond just soothing a sore throat. But there is a catch. Getting these benefits depends on which honey you buy – raw or pasteurized.
To enjoy the added benefits of adding honey to your tea, go for raw honey. It possesses anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, and anti-fungal properties.
Raw honey is the raw form of honey, which means it has not been through any post-processing. Sometimes it’s filtered, but that just means that they took out all the pieces. It is still as raw as they get.
So, Is Honey In Tea Toxic?
No, it is not. Nobody has been reported dead from it. However, we do know that honey in boiling water can affect the enzymes, reducing its benefits. Also, honey exposed to heat is just like pasteurized honey which has already been heat-treated to kill bacteria.
Yes, it might be less beneficial for you but it is in no way toxic. Also, since there is no research that suggests it can be less beneficial, it is best you take it with a grain of salt.
