  An acquaintance sells honey and pollen without making any health
claims. And he suggests that we would be wise to do the same.
  He does, however, also sell books that make their own health claims
for honey and pollen.
  Raw honey (unheated and not finely filtered) is similar to brown
chicken eggs. I know that white eggs and brown eggs are not different in
any way except shell color, but I prefer brown eggs as slightly exotic.
(And the rich, orange yolk color of some farm eggs is the result of
carotene in a food supplement and means nothing, right?)
