Sorry, that was from this article, which I didn't post but read along with the OP article.

Thanks Dan, but the second article's only source for the adulteration claim is the OP article. The second article's anonymous article styles himself "Dr. Charles", and he answers a reader question about feeding HFCS to bees by saying, "This is a good question, but I don’t know. I actually have a friend in Texas who helps to produce honey on a farm, and she states that they have used honey diluted with sugar somehow, so I guess some replacement is almost standard, or there would be little product!" I presume innocence, but "Dr. Charles" seems not to know much about honey production beyond what he's heard from that friend in Texas, and seems to have misread the original article, and cited it for a proposition that it does not support.

Nevertheless, I did find a different part of the "Dr. Charles" site interesting. He cites a study published in the BMJ in May 2013 involving 11 million Australians that found a single C-T diagnostic scan in childhood increased by 25% the risk of getting cancer within the following 10 years. That corroborates other reports that I've been seeing about diagnostic radiation causing more cancers. Of course whenever I mention it, Bob2356 appears out of nowhere to defend the medical practice that supplies most of his income, and which I'm guessing involves a lot of diagnostic radiation, and maybe some especially lucrative cancer patients too. In my first exchange with Bob, in 2012, I tried without success to find a link to what I had heard an Australian doctor saying about CT scans of children causing more cancer; perhaps she might have been describing the preliminary data from that study prior to publication, which would explain why I couldn't find the study online last year.
