A study published in the Scientific World Journal found that participants who consumed 70g of honey daily for thirty days experienced a three percent reduction in total cholesterol. Another study in the Journal of Medicine and Food reported an 8 percent decrease in cholesterol. These findings highlight honey’s potential as a natural alternative for managing cholesterol levels. The powerful antioxidants and unique blend of natural sugars in honey are believed to drive this effect. Research suggests that honey’s phenolic compounds and flavonoids help reduce oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system, which is crucial for cholesterol regulation. Furthermore, honey’s natural enzymes may support lipid metabolism, aiding in cholesterol control. Unlike refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, honey’s complexity seems to work with the body’s natural processes to lower cholesterol.
