Best of luck trying to fight this trend!

Along the same lines, I found "Sugar Free Imitation Honey" made by "HoneyTree."  The product ingredient list includes maltitol syrup, natural and artificial flavors, acesulfame K, maltic acid.

It is packed by Honeytree, Inc., Onsted, MI.  I bought a jar at the large, Arkansas-based retailing giant during one of my "price checking" runs.  The 12-ounce jar was under $2.00, if memory serves me right.

Ironically, one tablespoon contains 50 calories.  Real honey contains 60 calories.  So what's the real benefit?  It ain't taste!

I'd like to see very strict limitations on what can pass for "honey."
