SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) â E. coli concerns have caused a California-based water bottle company to issue a voluntary recall. Niagara bottling pulled fourteen of its brands off of the shelves Monday after the operator of a spring that supplies the water failed to report evidence of E. coli. There is no indication that any water in circulation has been contaminated. Niagara says it routinely checks water to make sure it is safe to consume.

While the company is based in California, the bottling facilities in question are actually in Pennsylvania. âThis recall only relates to spring water produced in our Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities from June 10-18th, 2015.
A 1-teaspoon serving of honey weighs about 7 grams. Around 5.7 grams of this weight are carbohydrates, while 0.02 grams are protein and the rest is water. Sugar Content. While you may consider honey to be more nutritious than table sugar, it is still sugar and should therefore be eaten in moderation.
Honey is also high in calories-more than table sugar. A teaspoon of commercial natural honey contains about 22 calories, a teaspoon of sugar around 16 calories. Many people who swapped honey for sugar found they liberally poured it into yoghurts, herbal teas and the like imagining honey to be superior to other sugars.Honey is slightly lower on the glycaemic index (GI) than sugar (so it is absorbed into the body at a slightly slower rate), but it's all about the language-when you think of honey you think of nature, bees, a farmer spooning honey from his hives into a jar that goes on the shelf in the local shop.
