神奇的肉桂粉与蜂蜜

新加坡 焕然 供稿 

    Honey is the only food (liquid) on the planet that will not spoil or rot. some people think it just turns to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time，it will do what I rather call "crystallizing". When this happens I would loosen the lid, boil some water, and let the honey container sit in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
    蜂蜜是地球上唯一不会腐败变质的食物（液体）。有些人认为它只不过是会变成糖的东西。
实际上，蜂蜜永远就是蜂蜜。然而，蜂蜜如果长时间置于阴凉处，会发生变化，我认为称之为结晶更妥当。如果这样的话，我会拧松盖子，烧点开水，把装蜂蜜的容器放进热水中，关掉炉火，让蜂蜜融化。这么一来，就完好如初了。绝不要把蜂蜜烧开，或放进微波炉！那会破坏蜂蜜中的各种酶。

CINNAMON AND HONEY 肉桂和蜂蜜
    Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

HEART DISEASES:心脏病：

It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.
