A reasonable person wouldn't expect honey to stop their heart though.

  There are no longer any reasonable people with the shift in demographics.

    What do you mean?

      Every culture has a different understanding of what is reasonable. Cultures shift with demographic changes. It is reasonable to behave one way in one culture and not another. Your peers are no longer your peers.

  Then again, many reasonable people would avoid, rather than specifically seek to buy raw honey from India (or the vicinity).

  I suspect if you're buying mad honey that's collected wild on cliff faces and then imported from Nepal, it is likely pretty clear to whoever got it that it is special. Maybe kid could accidentally get a hold of it, or other adults that didn't buy it. However, from the article (as far as I could get before the ads locked me out) there is a type that tends to have this happen to them (middle aged men IIRC). So it seems to be intentional.

  Surprisingly lot of places don’t have a regulation for testing honey. There are tons of toxins that can make it into honey.

  * Sibutramine (weight loss medication) * Suldenafil or tadalafil (ED medication) * SARMS (steroids in general) * Caffeine powder (another game of guess the dosage)

    Caffeine is especially interesting, as it is commonly consumed and there are incidents where people are hospitalized because they accidentally ate too much - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8824417/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8824417/ (referencing the 6000 mg here)

    > * Caffeine powder (another game of guess the dosage) I found a study saying "the caffeine content in tested dietary supplements is 4–35% higher than the declared amount in most cases" which doesn't seem very dangerous. You can overdose on caffeine in other ways, of course.

  Yohimbine is popular for weightloss but its dangerous if not dosed correctly
  - herbst 16d ago
    I never saw that sold for weight loss before. I got introduced to it as a aphrodisiac when mixed with vitamin C if I remember correctly. Interesting stuff
