On the metal spoon, I would also ask what type of metal. Stainless, Silver or Aluminum are all common types of flatware and the later two are more reactive and could leave toxic traces over time.
That spoon idea may be linked to when silver spoons were way more prevalent. Silver does mess with enzymes and pathogens. I know all about crystallized honey. I have 5lb jars filled and have to warm them up to pour it out. That’s how I know the local guy isn’t messing with nature.
Bumping that algorithm 👊 Beeks!!! P.S. David I've heard the metal soon so many times 🤣. No expert here & I agree with you! Funny thing is (from what I understand) gold plated silverware is known to allow humans taste buds to sense less metallic "transfer" flavor... Learned about it from a modern marvels or how it's made episode on ice cream.?! Apparently The taste testers used gold-plated spoons for this exclusively (who'd have thought). No chance I'll be switch to gold silverware anytime soon 🤣🤣🤣.
Ha,Ha. Thanks for this David The first time i read the spoon idea, i thought of the stainless steel strainer. 😅 I know honey is good for my brain 'cos I'm heaps smarter since i started beekeeping...or is that caused by all the knowledge I've accumulated? 👀🐝
Not scientific data, but the spoon one may go back to when silverware was actually made of silver? I have an allergic reaction to silver jewelry so maybe there is something to the reaction of honey and silver? Not sure, but would love to learn if anyone has info. Would love to be able to explain where this myth comes from so I could explain it to people.
Honey is acidic which reacts with metal but not plastic. I use a plastic extractor and can taste the from shop bought and I can taste metal from the spoon. Some people can taste better than others
Nutritionally, depending on the plant, pollen protein varies. A lot of these myths are likely extrapolated from lab data. Who could eat 45 to 75 gm of bee pollen daily? even collect that much?
I keep hearing about not using a metal spoon. It seems so uneducated to believe something like that. I mean, how would your honey never come into contact with some form of metal container during its production in the first place. Most metal utensils are non-reactive. I just don't understand how people believe these rumors and then it spreads so widely!
David, stainless steel flatware is a non reactive metal, it will jot harm honey in any way. Now your Grandmothers old silverware set may react with honey

I love my honey, 20 years and has never spoiled, always just as sweet as can be.🎉

It’s used in wound healing toooo true statement
Honey has healing properties for wounds, bee stings or burns?

I like to use glass spoons for my honey.
Great chat as always David thank you
Interesting points David, thanks for the video! Stay warm!
Putting honey on a wound helps it heal...The stickiness actually holds dirt.
You are on point David , myth buster episode 👍
Always thought the same thing, spin it out in a SS drum, what could a SS spoon do?
Thank you
I see these on Facebook a lot and I try to correct people but everyone shares without actually research unfortunately
MY DAD WAS GIVEN A 5-GALLON BUCKET OF CRYSTALLIZED HONEY BECAUSE WELL IT WAS NO GOOD RIGHT 👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂WE FEASTED😊
Ha,Ha. Thanks for this David

“Honey, alone, can sustain human life”. Sure! It can, but for how long?

Honey ages well
Honey is acidic which reacts with metal but not plastic. I use a plastic extractor and can taste the from shop bought and I can taste metal from the spoon.

If you will starve in 21 days without food or if you have a teaspoon of honey per day you could maybe live indefinitely
Love all your Park Tools
Agreed!!!
Are you sure it wasn’t fermented honey? Fermented honey is actually good for you, and has its own, unique taste.
the first one is like if you eat 1spon of honey you will add 24 hours more to your life but i think its super lie
Silver spoon....the silver

Honey alone cannot sustain life to do that it would have to have a fat source not just carbohydrates
