Adulterated honey consumption can induce obesity, increase blood glucose level and demonstrate toxicity effects

The effects of adulterated honey consumption towards human health is not widely known; mainly due to lack of systematic and scientific studies and low public awareness. In this study, short-term and long-term effects of consumption on two brands of commercially honey are available in Malaysian mar...
