Exactly! Most honey in the store is cut with hydrolyzed corn syrup. Don’t buy “local” honey unless you know who’s selling it. I know a family (through friends) that sells honey in a larger city. They buy cheap honey and put it in cute bear honey bottles. It’s a good thing I’ve always been a pessimist, realist. I’m thankful I don’t eat any of that junk anymore.
