text: Some say that using honey, especially from your own locale, will help avoid or lessen alergies.  Read the bottle and do not give honey too infants under one year, they do not have mature immune systems to the botulism that may be present.\n\nMy wife swears that a 50/50 mix of honey with ACV (apple cider vinegar) helps prevent her leg cramps and has other beneficial effects.  Heat the ACV first and it will mix much easier with the honey perhaps in a half empty plastic honey bottle (leave air space until mixed).  Then take perhaps three teaspoons per day with apple cider (or any fruit juice).\n\nSugur and honey probably sweeten equally, but honey may have a plus.
