Trust in the food industry is not exactly great. But are the findings in this video really that “shocking”?

Fact check: Real honey has a “genetic memory.” It is understandable that consumers do not trust many foods. Some sites often report alarmistly about poisons in food. A video is now intended to demonstrate how simple methods can be used to determine that food has been manipulated.

Do these simple methods really do what they claim?

In the video, two types are placed in a bowl. Water is then added and the bowls are swirled. The “false” honey shows wave patterns, while the “real” honey shows a pattern that is vaguely reminiscent of honeycombs. Apparently this is due to the “genetic memory” of the honey that was once in honeycombs.

The concept of “genetic memory” can be found in many scientific fields.
What they all have in common, however, is that a substance must contain genetic material. Likewise, a certain process must take place that then transmits this genetic information. However, honey is plant nectar modified by enzymes that bees use to store energy. It does not contain any genes, which is why one cannot speak of genetic memory.

What does this water shaking test show then?

Basically nothing.
Honey is a purely natural product and cannot (yet) be produced in the laboratory. However, different types of honey on the market contain various additives such as extraneous sugar and starch, which influence the appearance and consistency of the honey. As a result, the honey sometimes forms one shape and sometimes another during the shaking test. But that has nothing to do with genetic memory.

Real proof of the extent to which a honey contains additives requires spectographic laboratory analyzes for various polysaccharide chemicals (starch). This cannot be found out with this shake test.

The claim that “real honey has a “genetic memory” is false.

A simple shake test is not an indicator of quality. Honey also has no “genetic memory” because it contains no genetic material at all.
