Honey as an alternative to sugar? New study indicates the health benefits
Fox News
A recent study published in Nutrition Reviews suggests consuming raw honey from a single floral source may help with blood sugar control and lower cholesterol levels; more research is needed.
"We’re not saying you should start having honey if you currently avoid sugar," added Khan. Some people may have an allergic reaction to certain components of honey — and honey is not safe for infants younger than 12 months of age. "There is no harm [in taking honey] and a small reduction can also be beneficial in the long term," said one senior researcher. "More studies from unique single flower sources are needed." "The data from this study alone do not warrant a change in the current recommendations for honey consumption."
"The takeaway is more about replacement," he said.
