Higher Antioxidant Activity than Green Tea and Traditional Guayusa Our guayusa has more antioxidants - chlorogenic acids than green tea (Camellia sinensis). Garcia-Ruiz et. al. (2017) determined that even though raw guayusa leaves had lower antioxidant activity than Camellia sinensis leaves, processed guayusa showed much higher antioxidant activity. For example, they reported an increase of 48.5% total phenolic content in our guayusa leaves.

Among the torn pages on beekeeping, honey, and bee culture, we found this gem of a quote: "We all know how children long for candy. This longing voices a need and is another evidence of the necessity of sugar in our diet... Children should be given honey at each meal time that they will eat. It is safer and will largely do away with the inordinate longing for candy and other sweets, and in lessening the desire will doubtless diminish the amount of cane sugar eaten." Honey at every meal? We are...
