A typical italian sweet, is an ancient sweet. It contains fennel, sugar, lemon and honey. ## Well Honey is purported to be a superfood, not to mention the fact that citrus fruits such as lemon are very healthy. Admittedly, I'm a little confused, however, since I'm not sure if the title Baxin is supposed to refer to the drug Biaxin, or if you are even posting a question of any sort? Can you please reply with more details of what you are referring to here?
