How can someone have this much sugar and be ok?

“According to WebMD, raw honey contains polyphenols and flavonoids, strong antioxidants which fight the damage caused by free radicals in the body. By reducing that damage, they help fight a number of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, perhaps even cancer. Honey is also very good for heart health. A study published by the Scientific World Journal showed that to lower total and “bad” cholesterol levels while increasing “good” cholesterol, while also cutting levels of triglycerides. And studies done on animals (not yet replicated with humans) show that honey may be able to reduce blood pressure as well. In addition, research by Dr. Asiful Islam shows honey has strong antibacterial and anti-fungal properties which help wounds heal faster, helps fight the effects of upper respiratory infections, supports the immune system and may assist with digestive system and gastrointestinal tract issues. There’s also research from The Royal Society of Medicine showing honey could be an effective treatment for skin issues like psoriasis. Finally, even though honey contains only small amounts of nutrients, refined sugar doesn’t contain any beneficial minerals, vitamins or enzymes. It’s all empty calories.”

I happen to believe anything our creator made is good for us, no matter what the mainstream media tells us. Have you ever considered that only refined sugar is really bad for you? Have you ever considered that maybe sugar in its most natural form is actually good for you? Maybe we couldn’t handle it in these quantities because we consume other unhealthy things. And maybe we couldn’t handle even raw sugar or honey because our bodies are in a constantly inflammatory state due to all the other toxins we consume.

These people are eating raw, pure honey. I think the proof of its efficacy is in the shepherds’ collective and individual heartiness. Thoughts?
