You're Buying FAKE Honey From China...Cut With Sugar & Other Nasty Stuff!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Only buy locally sourced honey, otherwise there is a good chance it's coming from China, is cut with sugar, has no pollen, and can have heavy metals. There is an abundance of good quality honey around the world, you just have to make sure you know exactly where it comes from. Ideally buy local and raw honey, this means it's not heated very high for filtration and still has living nutrients. Mad Love..Bobby

As a beekeeper I appreciate your exposing fake honey although some of us sells our honey in the cute little bears too. 🙂 I wish you had mentioned that real honey can crystallizes and the fake stuff never will, and that crystallized honey does not mean that the honey has gone bad.
Thank you Stormie for saying that! I use local honey and it crystallizes all the time. I first thought that was bad.
I always wondered about the honey crystalizing, if that was bad. The one I buy from Costco always crystalizes but it’s because I take forever to finish it. It’s good to know that that isn’t a bad thing. Thank you for sharing your info.
What’s the best way to get it back to a pourable state once it crystallizes?
@@kimberlyrogers0804 you will want to gently warm it up in some warm water. Place the jar in a pan of warm water or you could place it on a heating pad. Just don’t get it too warm or you destroy all the good properties of the honey.
I bought some German honey and it was layered. A runny honey on top of a thicker honey. Could it have been fake honey.
I get my honey from a local honey farmer. He showed me the bees, the operation, the storage, the whole nine yards. I was absolutely amazed! Beautiful in every way!
This terrible country is the reason i hate going to electronics stores, and-recently-to food stores!The "made in China" plague is nearly unavoidable!
This guy is so smart knowledgeable easy to follow passionate good father to Rose . We must listen to him instead of doctor OZ
Yup
Lmao both are con artists
@@Pogawa341 lol you’re a clown. Oz is a crook and everything Bobby says is
100% accurate.
Dr Oz is a goon.
I followed dr. Oz as a teen .. and bought the tea and garcinia pills he marketed.. 🙃 not healthy.. didn’t know better 🤷🏻♀️
I wish people would support their local Bee Keeper or Honey Farm more. You are not only supporting them, but you are helping the bees have a environmentally safe place to be at and less likely for them to go extinct.
I wish more local farmers would MAN UP and spend more of their profits ....... on marketing. So we can fuckin find them. Instead of running a business and then complaining about slow moving business.......... that sort of half ass behavior and victim mentality is what is feeding china... not the buyer.
I tried but when tested, still fake 😢
Can't find em. Here in Minnesota farmers markets are full of fake imported products and scam artists so instead people do their high-end / farm grocery shopping at "Co-ops". That is the only place where you can get "real" honey but most of them are from neighboring states like Wisconsin, not locally produced.
In fact, it's not just honey. Most local farmers in my area straight out _refuse_ to directly sell their produce (like raw goats milk or pasture raised pork) to local end consumers for some reason, most likely profit related.
I am a beekeeper from Arkansas.
I found your channel because I am a diabetic and hypertensive and overweight.
I'm trying to keep my job, but I'm afraid mydiabetes will retire me from my job. I'm a truck driver.
Thank you for helping me.
Honey is close to my heart.
And everyone needs to buy local, from the source.
If you have time, check out Barbara O'Neal's talks here in y t, she teaches about health in general and real time ways to fix problems and also has some on diabetes.

If you still are trying to improve your health and lose weight, You need to watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead (Joe Cross) I think it’s the second documentary that Joe Cross meats a man (truck driver who has become obese no doubt from sitting in a truck all the time) and also who had the same condition he had. He help this man lose so much weight and restore his healthy while at the same time improving his own health.
Oh also, poor sleep schedules that mess up your circadian rhythm can force your body into insulin resistance Golo diet discusses this as many people have this condition especially those working shift work or getting very little sleep. Research suggests that most people need an average of 7-9 hrs sleep. No less than 7 and no more than 9. Too little or too much isn’t good for your health.
My wife and I found you on UA-cam during quarantine you changed our lives!
BUY LOCAL! I only purchase/support US based companies. I ALWAYS check the “made in” label. We would be doing the bees justice to purchase from local or locally sourced companies. SAVE THE BEES!
Claudia Cacopardo I’m buying from the local Farmer’s Market - eggs, olive oil, and honey. Hope they’re not fake!
Claudia Cacopardo They put syrup in most honey too, many people are taking shortcuts to save money.
Yeah girl! By buying local and US companies you are also SAVING OUR LIVELYHOODS! Buying Made In USA keeps food in our children's bellies.
How can you buy local if you're from Antarctica?
It's very difficult to buy locally, but will try.
When it comes to honey, it's always best to buy locally sourced not only for traceability but also because raw local honey contains blend of local pollen which helps strengthen the immune system and reduce pollen allergy symptoms. Thank you for sharing🙏🏾
Wow great point thank you!!! God bless you
I was wondering about this! I have seasonal allergies, and wondered if it would cause symptoms. I would say it’s worth it, though. I love honey!
What is up wth our food these days, are we being poisoned deliberately? This goes beyond money only. The food industry is sick and sickening. Thanks for the valuable content, Bobby!
YES we r being poisoned & on purpose!
Yes

@@BobbyParrish How about Kirkland Wildflower Honey? Is it raw honey?
@@osamabinladen824 It’s true source verified, so yes
I have friends who have bees and sell honey. They buy "Bear" honey jars to put it in, so not all bear honey is bad. LOL.
a Netzband really,it taste perfect 👌 I bought it from farmers market the rainy bees 🐝 honey.jars that produce perfect.
i only buy honey from our local farmers market bc I have kids who have seasonal allergies and I read that local honey can help - so far so good - thanks - love your videos - so much great info!
Yes, I do the same. Also, nettle and quercetin and bromelain are excellent for seasonal allergies, clears them right up.
What brands of the supplements do you use, and what strength of each item?
I'm glad I found Bobby's videos!!! It's been about a month, and I've learned so much. I really appreciate that people are as open to asking questions , as people are to sharing. Everyone learns more this way!
Bobby and Dr. Berg are like Batman and Robin, protecting our health. Thank you brother 👍🏼
Dr. Berg is a hukster. Don’t be fooled.
Dr Berg is BS. He is a scientologist for one, secondly he is a chiropractor who has zero authority to be lecturing on the endocrine system.
Yea he has sound advice but dr berg is also a crazy Scientologist who disowned his son basically for exposing Scientology, and some of the things he had to go through growing up with his mom and dad being in Scientology when he was a young age.
While honey is a natural sweetener it doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
@@9929kingfishHoney has many health benefits such as helping to reduce allergies, anti inflammatory properties etc. As with anything overconsumption can have a negative effect. Or if you have certain illnesses etc, honey may not be an option.
I thought Honey was gross as a kid, since all I ever tried was the bear stuff. When I tried local honey the difference was night and day.. It was dang good!
No sir. I live in Montana a BIG honey state. Each spring during pollen season I get a LOCALLY made honey which contains microscopic pollen native to my neighborhood. Taking 1-2 TBs/day significantly reduces my pollen allergies. No foolin' !!
It totally does work. I was allergic to so many pollens before I started using local honey from Florida where I live! I believe it desensitizes you from the allergens.
June 2023 here, and the Kirkland brand raw honey, in the bear shaped bottle, has the True Source Certified stamp. Whew!
I know this is an older video but I want to advocate for Crystals Raw Honey. They are a great company that only sells natural, unfiltered, raw honeys. I love getting honey from them that has crystalized. When honey crystalizes that is a great indication that it is straight from the hive. Plus the crystalized honey spreads so easily and melts right in your mouth!
The problem is even local beekeepers feed their bees granulated sugar. Getting your hands on the real thing is so difficult.
There are tons of local beekeepers who are less than honest with many of them whom were reportedly caught selling fake raw honey that is either pasteurized or heavily mixed with other artificial additives and fillers for a quick buck.
Buying from local beekeepers does not guarantee you are getting genuine raw or real honey. What's worst because of how technological sophisticated that some honey producer are these day, in truth, it's actually impossible to properly validate whatever a honey is real honey or otherwise unless it's tested thoroughly in a lab. So unless you either can verify for yourself firsthand that the honey you are buying is actually harvested raw with no added artificial flavoring and stuff or have the honey it's self tested in a lab, you really can't be 100% sure you are getting the real stuff.
@@DarkZerol
You nailed it.
Kirkland honey from Costco in the bear containers is also okay. It’s USDA organic certified, single source (Brazil), and True Source certified.
that's the on i buy
Costco has Raw Honey in the bear container. Have not looked at the other postings on the bear container.
Fantastic video! So helpful as I’m a big tea fan and always add honey! Thanks as always 🙏
No one is talking about the MC Hammer reference “2 Legit, 2 legit to quit Hey Hey” 😂 #mademelaugh
Local honey also benefits people with allergies. I used to take Claritin d every spring for seasonal allergies. Since I started using local honey it is very rare that I have to take one.
Honey laundering is the worst thing to happen to the world's most perfect food. Great video!
well said!
Can keep doing where not to get certain foods or oils condiments! Honey, olive oil from CA you did garlic this is a great series
thx taylor!
Back in the day my grandfather was a beekeeper and was definitely the real deal. I could find his products in local grocery stores. He used the cute little bears too.
I buy home made honey from a classmate of mine!! So mine IS Honey❣️❣️❣️
Really home made? Can you get the ingredients? 😅
@@johnqlunchbucket do not trust everything flowers treated with pestides will not be considered Honey 🍯
What a great and informative video! Thank you for keeping us informed. ❤️
Thank you so much. I love the comparison of all of these products which I use. Amen
It is very scary what kind of poisons are on the shelves! Unbelievable!
Thanks a million! I have always wondered if Costco's raw, unfiltered honey is genuine. In my next trip to Costco, I'll stock up on it.
Costco Honey may be local but the Honey is mixed from many different sources and different beekeepers. No telling where the bee hives have been placed and no way to tell if they have been exposed to chemically treated plants etc. Honey has to be marked Organic and stress that their bees have been put in sprayed pastures.
Finally someone with enough spine to stand up to the Red Giant. Surprised this platform may ban him bc of his honesty concerning the red giant.
I once bought honey so authentic, it had dead bees in it.😆
🤣🤣
So the honey at grocery stores that claim to be US made and the only ingredient is listed as “honey” is a fraud? Wouldn’t grocery stores get in trouble for selling that? There’s a lots products like this.
I am heading to subscribe to costco! seems like this store prides itself in selling purity products.
Yeah right. HHHAAA!!!
So ridiculous how food companies can get away with all this!
This is so true. When I was back in China, honey from shelves were always recognized as the "cheap sweaters that taste like honey". If you want real honey, you have to buy directly from beekeepers. And nobody thought there's a problem with that, that's like a normal thing to do. I was so shocked when I saw how high honeys are priced in the US grocery stores, and realized that they are real honey.
To be honest, I kinda miss the "honey taste alike", cause I use honey only for the taste not the benefit, but in the US even the fake honeys are expensive for no reason, it's not even worth it to buy fake ones here.
Excellent discussion, thank you for your work.
Thanks for passing on the knowledge and tips!
This video is so good, thank you for breaking down what’s in the honey that’s bad and where we should look. Very helpful!!!!! Thank you!!!
What about costcos Kirkland organic honey ? Is it real honey ?
I've been telling so many people about the Chinese honey and how they get it shipped out and ppl are so shocked.
I appreciate you a whole lot I did not notice about honey and the garlic thank you!
What kind of barbarian thinks it fun to squeeze the bear's head!!! You press his belly and he smiles, making the honey sweeter.
I have a question about the Manuka honey. There are several grades of this honey ..can you explain that in another video? Tganks..love your videos!!!!
Definitely love learning about foods and marketing, buying real food that is non-GMO. Thanks so much. You are my #1source of good nutrition
True
thx for that!
I buy local Amish honey here in Michigan. It’s amazing. I use it in my smoothies and coffee and tea.
I’m curious about Publix honey. It’s in a bear but it’s local in A city in FL and only says honey as the ingredient.
Thank you GUYS it's because of you I have a channel 💓💓🙏
The way to know if you have real honey is to add a tablespoon or two of honey in a bowl and add a little water start this world the water around in the bowl and if the honey starts to form the shape of honey combs then you have real honey.... Also to get the full benefits of honey buy local honey.... If you have allergies can you take honey the bees pollinate the flowers that you live nearby hence you get more benefits to help combat the allergens in your area
Few years ago AUSTRALIA , was selling HONEY to CHINA. But what they shippped back, was BULL CRAP, so they wanted to sell them less, but the honey farmers bitched, they were LOOSING EXPORTS,
I THINK IT BEST THAT AU buy their own, then export some , cheers 🇦🇺🇺🇸
When I was in Toronto, a local market had a New Zealand honey vender. He let customers sample honey on tiny sample spoons from many different varieties. My favourites were Manuka, Leathwood, Thyme, and Rosemary. I had other favs too but those are the ones I bought. It was more than ten years ago, and I still have some left. Every once in a while I have a tiny taste of these heavenly honeys. The flavour and aromas, still linger, and are still amazing. It was in the east end market near Jarvis street.
Got Organic raw honey from Walmart, had the symbol
I love your older videos because you spend so much time giving the research. I’ve been following you for years. You changed the way I eat. And my bloodwork has show the difference.
It's overwhelming to hear all this but thank you for letting us know.
I saw your video where you talked about ground spices, you should buy whole spices n grind them not very fine by low speed grinding n store in glass bottles in fridge, they will be good for a year, grandma's way in our home, we avoid readymades, make fresh at home, takes time but health benefits, right
Great video and informations as ALWAYS! Thanks for sharing FLAVCITY with me ✌❤❤❤
We just got some manuka honey from TJ Maxx, and it looks like it's the real thing... Lol I'm second guessing everything now!
As someone commented before, real honey crystallizes at certain low temperatures. Put the jar in warm water and it will decrystallize. Never use microwave heating. Honey is like our girlfriend, warm them slowly.
Hahaha
Or place on the stove when cooking, it has always warmed up easily for me.
I remember buying the Kirkland Wildflower Honey from costco and literally after couple of month there was a thick, thick layer of sugar at the bottom of the container. It’s not honey crystal because no matter how warm it is it’s still there. That’s a classic sign of fake honey.
I’m having this issue😢
Bobby please check the Go Raw.. organic sprites seeds also.. I called then they said it comes from China and packaged in US.
I now you had said that it’s has Bobby’s Approved seal..
i will ask about it, i would be shocked if the seeds were bad quality!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish Thank you Bobby.. I was shocked as well.. We all know how US companies import food and other items from China.... repack and sell them ..for profit .
Honey is something always best bought from local producers. No problem finding pure and good stuff here...
Great video, and series! I’d definitely like to see more videos like this. Thank you.
I was in crete Greece and the honey I had there was incredible. I find it in local Greek grocery shops in canada
This is why we have our own bees and grow most of the food we eat, including garlic. Loved watching the Rotten series years ago.
smart move ;)
Thank you for having Bees! My Brother has his on Apiary and we all grow our own food! We need the Honey Bees! 🐝
Yep. We have a small farm as well in FL. Adding bees next year!
Thank you so much for all the information you give. He bless you!
😖 why is USA importing any food from China 😖
Because it's cheap junk
and this is why i buy honey from local beekeepers.
So happy that I found your channel! Saw your fake olive oil video. Thank you! I am a local honey consumer. This is great education for people
I just checked to see if my Costco has the Manuka honey. They do but for $80.
diana bonet should
Sorry , should buy Manuka with K Factor 16 or higher is better
diana bonet hello, but who’s $ is that ? I forgot what it is in my NJ COSTS, BUT Ihave caught it on sale for $37 + and bought 2or 3 I used to send my sister in FLORIDA & the unfiltered dark one too, but
She just passed. . On last month. Cheers 🇦🇺🇺🇸
You should reach out to Dee Lusby, the mother of Bee Keeping. She's lives in Amado, AZ & has a book out about all this. She has been talking about all the honey fraud going on.
She’s in the Netflix documentary he mentioned called “rotten”! Very enlightening.
I learned about this when I studied abroad in Greece! There was a farmer's market and they even had different varieties of honey which had different tastes which before I got there I didn't even know could happen

Do you know anything about the Manuka honey sold at Trader Joe’s?
We Are Legion Hi, don’t know, never got through the LONG LINES But the MANUKA, I buy @ COSTCO, I think it’s from NZ , NOT INEXPENSIVE , but they also sell UNFILTERED HONEY QUITE DARKER GHAN REGULAR HONEY, BUT ANY HONEY Zthat does NOT CRYSTALIZE TO THE END is more than likely fake , cheers 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great advise and I enjoy your fake and real segments it’s very eye opening. Thanks.
I just received my honey from "Bee Konscious" and I can tell you the taste is out of this world. I literally would be quite content with my jar, a spoon and a great Netflix movie.
Get off Netflix.
Where is the LOVE button at? 💖. I’m so glad you did this video! Thank you for always educating us!
Beekeeping runs in my Family and my brother has his own Apiary and absolutely loves what he does! I’m working on Beekeeping myself. Have to keep the Bees so they can Pollinate the World! Btw.... this has been the Best Year for my Brothers Bees. They have been busy bottling up their Honey to share with everyone. 🐝🍯
What about the Costco Organic Raw honey in the bears ?
Yeah that's what i want to know that's my go to.
@FlavCity with Bobby Parrish thanks for your video, really enjoyed it. i've been buying local honey for the past 18 months from where i live in canada, and i appreciate the different options dutchman's gold (raw, blueberry blossom, wildflower, summer blossom) offers at a fair price - in addition am helping support local jobs too. your video validates why people should be buying locally sourced honey , wherever the viewers live, with everything you've explained.

Is the costco raw honey from brazil good like it has that true source certification stamp that you mention and the packaging is 3 24 oz bottles for $10.99 in bear bottles
I have the same question
@@brendasotomayor1091 Kirkland Wildflower honey?
Costco Kirkland raw honey from Brazil in bear bottles has been filtered which is not good. You want to get unfiltered raw honey, with no added sugar.
Do you have prof
@@AngelicaRamirez-ti6wi The guy said in this video that honey in bear bottles is not good.. You can google it to find out more about it.
I don’t understand how any human being who’s ever lived has ever thought that crystallization = bad honey. Whenever I’ve gotten honey from a hive, even at 100 degree plus temperatures it was totally solid.. I can’t believe people thought real honey was liquid at room temperature.
Is any of the Trader Joe’s honey good?
This would be helpful. Not everyone has a Costco membership.
OMG, instead of crying, google and remember reading is fundamental!!!!!!!
@@gicee7242 no crying here, thanks. Prefer Trader Joe’s anyway. 😉
If you are a hay fever sufferer make sure to buy raw honey that is produced in your immediate area.A teaspoon a day starting on July 4th really alleviates symptoms.For me it almost eliminates them.
Dad Joke incoming: "When my girlfriend came home covered in honey and stings
... I knew she was a "keeper"
Funny! Lol
That wasn't a Dad joke, that was a cool joke 😎 👍🏽
So dad jokes = jokes
What will we call jokes in the future?
i hope people understand, that anything way too cheap is probably not good for you. like golden syrup is technically "fake honey". in china, we have local beekeepers too and respectable companies with good honey. it's just the golden rule of you get what you pay for.
What about the Trader Joe’s manuka honey is it bad or good?
Right SMH 😯
But Manuka honey direct from New Zealand. Do a Google search and find producers that deliver. If you get it directly from New Zealand it will be 100% real.
From my previous message, The market the New Zealand honey vender was in the Saint Lawrence Market in Toronto. No idea if they are still there but the different honeys were amazing.
I always buy Canadian honey. It's perfect.
I am very grateful to you and also people who fought to have gmo labels years back they were hated but me and you and so many others love them and in Jesus name we tell them thank you
There is a great documentary from Morgan Spurlock about honey, and honey bees 🐝.
never heard of that one, i will check!
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish One in a series he did callled “Inside Man”
I tried the Manuka Honey you suggested. It's really good. We also followed your advice on the garlic. Do you have recommendations for the garlic that has been peeled for you? Love your videos
Is the Costco organic honey fake too?
I was wondering the same about the Costco Raw Organic. It does not crystallize.
Awesome, thank you. Love you guys
No Costco here in Arkansas.
I bought Kirkland honey at Costco, it is good or bad? Oh thanks, I did not see that part of the video, I comment before video end. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for another educational video Bobby! I never watch one of your videos without learning something new. And buying local is very important!
