Doesn't "unprocessed raw honey" include all quality honey, anyway?

My guess is that most processed raw honey is not as good (or even bad), but those (robinia and clover) might be better than the rest. Still, I would rather get unprocessed robinia/clover honey rather than their processed variants.

According to the article, "processing" refers to heating.

Most commercial honey has been pasteurized, which appears to destroy whatever substance exists in raw honey and has favorable effect on glycemia.

Even using honey in a too hot drink or in a baked cake might eliminate most of the health effects of raw honey.
