Honey

Eating local honey seems like it would not do much for someone who has allergies, however, a recent study proves this to be wrong. Volunteers with seasonal allergies were told to eat a tablespoon of local honey every day or told they were eating a tablespoon of honey every day when in reality, they were eating cornstarch and artificial flavoring. The results showed that the people eating the real versus fake honey had no difference in their allergies. The effects of the honey were a placebo. However, scientists are not convinced that honey has the same effect as artificial. Scientists believe that there would be a significant difference when comparing the type of honey. Meaning, local honey versus commercial honey may have drastic effects on people with allergies.
