Hi Garry:
In response to your e-mail, if you read my e-mail correctly, honey changes its PH when it is digested and assimilated.  It's called the ash contents.  Yes, honey is acidic before it is consumed, much like lemon, orange and grapefruit, but when it is consumed the body breaks it down and releases alkaline buffers, which boots the PH to a higher level.  Like I said there are two ways of looking at the PH factor.Further, heating the honey above 120 degrees destroys the enzyme which in turn fails to release the alkaline buffers. George
