Adulterated Honey Alert: 77% Substandard in Market! Detect Fakes at Home

• 77% of honey in India is adulterated, with even prominent brands selling sugar syrup mixtures.
• Adulterated honey, often with 'rice syrup' from China, can increase bad cholesterol and blood sugar.
• Perform a water test: pure honey sinks and settles as a lump; fake honey dissolves quickly.
• Heat test: pure honey thickens and changes color; fake honey foams or bubbles.
• Vinegar test: fake honey will foam when mixed with vinegar; pure honey shows no reaction.
