Really, both David and Susan are right; they were using the term "pure" in different ways. David likely meant "pure honey" in the sense that the honey was not altered or had any additives. Susan used pure as in a "pure substance" in chemistry. Susan is also right, because honey is a medley of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and vitamins and minerals. Chemically, honey is not a pure substance- it's a mixture.
