Hello All,

Ultra Filtration is exactly what China needs to control the world honey
market.

ultra filtration has been around for a long time but not considered to be
worth the extra cost by U.S. packers/producers.

I made the statement years ago that packers would move to ultra filtration
the first time there is a problem and proudly display "Ultra filtration" on
their label.

China now has a problem that only ultra filtration will solve.

Ultra filtration can take old dark honey and make the honey water white.

If you believe that honey is a healthy food in the state produced and stored
in the hive by the bees you need to either produce your own honey or buy
honey from a local beekeeper.

If you believe honey and Karo syrup are the same and only to flavor pancakes
then buy your honey from the large packers store brands as they will buy
plenty of ultra filtered China honey to mix and blend with.

It is useless to argue that ultra filtered honey is not "pure honey" as only
water is added and removed.

 DI filtered honey removes most of the pollen etc. in honey but the honey is
still considered "pure" even if heated above 160F.

Bob
