Writer - What most people don't know is that honey, in addition to tasting good, has an antibacterial activity, due primarily to hydrogen peroxide formed in a slow-release manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase present in honey. Some honeys are no more antibacterial than sugar, while others can be diluted more than 100-fold and still halt the growth of bacteria. The difference in potency of antibacterial activity found among the different honeys is more than 100-fold. Manuka Honey is the only honey that is tested for its antibacterial activity. It contains an additional antibacterial component found only in honey produced from Leptospermum plants found in New Zealand.
