The researchers said that honey containing different concentrations of polyphenols (polyphenols), these components are anti-oxidants, is thought to be lower risk of heart disease and cancer, polyphenols found in fruits, vegetables, tea and olive oil. While previous studies have shown that honey can lead to improved antioxidant capacity, but the researchers said, this is the first observation of long-term effects of honey research. The study is published in this year's American Chemical Society's annual meeting.
In this study, the researchers asked 25 participants to eat 4 spoons of honey, and these participants are to maintain their normal diet, study period of 29 days. Two different kinds of honey contain different amount of polyphenols. End of the experiment before the experiment and after blood tests showed that the more the amount of intake of honey, the blood in higher concentrations of polyphenols, eat honey, high levels of polyphenols, the antioxidants in the blood concentration more high.
Researchers at the University of California Davis, said antioxidants slow down the body due to the occurrence of the disease process, and to protect the role of the human body, these antioxidants with free radical scavenging function, while the body of free radicals are unstable substances, which can damage cells . The researchers said the average annual intake of more than 150 pounds of sugar, honey and to replace some of the traditional sugar, may be more healthy choices.
