what fresh hell is this

honey comes from bees

end of story

I know some vegans that have said they wont even try this >.<

I suppose.

That sounds and looks horrifying. I wouldn't buy it either. Most of those ingredients I have no clue what they are, so I would not touch that. D:

I'm pretty sure this was made in an attempt to make money off of the decline of bee's and with the rise of honey prices. But.. honestly.. I'd rather pay the extra four or so for my honey then ....buy into that... imitation honey o.0;;;.

Though on a side note, the ingredients do look like some of the ones I see in pancake syrup.. o.0;

Ew. *uses locally cultivated honey v_v Nothings beats you bby.

LOCAL CREAMED HONEY YOU SAY!?!?!

:'D yes. Makes excellent honey butter!

It's first ingredient (like most imitation sweeteners) is a sugary alcohol made from corn. So really, this was grown in a field and then put through processing in a factory or lab. Chances are other things you use are corn products too- for example most cheap maple syrups. This happens a lot in the US since corn is subsidized. As for healthiness vs real sugar? No idea. I'd probly go for real honey myself.

(...And by sugary alcohol I don't mean the fun alcohol with sugar added :P I doubt you'll get a buzz from drinking artificial honey- although if you do try this, let me know so I can lol.)

Wouldn't this be for people with allergies or dietary restrictions?

Not that I've tried this stuff, but most people I know really don't like sugarfree chocolates either while I think they're great most of the time. I guess your tastebuds change when half of your daily calorie intake doesn't come from corn syrup?

A while ago, I forgot to put sugar in my tea. Realized it halfway through the cup and came to the conclusion that I still liked it, so I've stopped sweetening my tea altogether now.

o.O wat

I could see it for dietary restrictions or diabetes, but otherwise, ew.

But real organic honey is actually healthy for you

This is the only acceptable "fake honey" in my book (For vegans) made from apples. It's a nice light taste (And GREAT in apple spice teas)

Wait...what?

Yeah... I'm not going to buy into that. I have plenty of honey locally made (some of my jars have the comb inside) and use it for a combination of tea or cooking.

Though while slightly on subject, what are people's options with Agave nectar? I've had some of the light variety for namely toast but haven't place it in teas. So has anyone tried it in tea and if so, was it good/bad/couldn't tell between that and honey, etc.?

It seems to have a few varieties of sugar alcohols with honey flavor and I'm pretty sure some kind of thickener.

A product for vegans but I will point out that I am a diabetic and as such honey is something I often miss the taste of so if it was pleasing to taste then it is a product I would consider as a safer kind of treat rather than honey. The only I time I use real honey now days is when I have a cold or require it in other remedies for which there is no true replacement. Short answer: yes I would use it but I would have to watch the carb load as always.
*hugs*

nope.avi

O_o Not... sure if... want...?

The artificial sweetener is what bugs me the most. I know aspartame actually gets broken down and chemically converted to formaldehyde in the lower intestine, and is a proven carcinogen. So is Acesulfame.

My father is a diabetic, so I get the being on a limited diet. But substituting stevia, which has little to no effect on a persons glucose levels, is a good way to avoid putting this chemical junk in your body. I actually grow stevia plants in my herb garden every summer.

I wouldn't buy it based on packaging alone.

*SNOB*

Is honey really high on the carb profile?

Anything high sugar is high carb :)

anything natural is easier to consume by the body than fabricated though. Kinda like butter vs. margarine...

Agreed. a low carb diet tends to be a low-processed foods diet as well :)

That's not good enough for my mead or tea... or toast

I have tried it in tea,it has an aftertaste....
