Processing honey diminishes its beneficial properties, such as nitric oxide precursors and potential testosterone-boosting effects.

“the authors of this study show that after heating nitric oxide metabolites decreased in all kinds of honey this is why you want your honey to be raw and you want your honey to be local and you want it to be as dark as possible”

“the more rod is the darker it is the less processed it is because the more you heat the honey the more you degrade those nitric oxide precursors the more you degrade the chemicals that are probably involved in the process of preserving enos activity”

“when the honey is heated the amount of nitric oxide production in the human body goes down you see the metabolites go down so you don't want the honey to be it has to be raw first of all”

“Dutch gold honey which is not raw I looked up Dutch gold honey it's not a raw honey unfortunately so as Kim and I talk about this podcast I don't think all Honeys create equally in the study that I mentioned regarding nitric oxide derivatives from honey we know that it's honey light colored honey and Honey's exposed air it's not going to be as beneficial for humans as a raw honey so they used a honey that was pasteurized essentially heated which probably removes some of the best”

“when you process the honey meaning when you heat it or if it's stored in glass that's exposed to light for too long those properties tend to go away”

“I don't think all Honeys create equally the study that I mentioned regarding nitric oxide derivatives from honey we know that it's honey seated if I use light colored honey and Honey's exposed air it's not going to be as beneficial for humans as a raw honey”
