Compounds found in honey that may contribute to its neuroprotective effects.
Laboratory and animal studies report consistent neuroprotective effects of honey—reduced oxidative damage, less neuronal death in hippocampal regions, and improved memory in rodents—while human eviden...
Different honeys are chemically distinct because of floral, geographic and processing differences, and those chemical differences — notably in polyphenols and rare sugars — plausibly change metabolic ...
Systematic and narrative reviews of the literature show consistent neuroprotective signals for in cellular and animal experiments—antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, antiapoptotic and enzyme‑modulating ef...
Scientific literature documents clear examples of toxic honeys—most notably “mad honey” contaminated with grayanotoxins and honeys containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs)—that can cause acute cardiov...
Commercial Manuka and general honey marketing leans hard on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gut‑brain narratives to claim brain benefits, often singling out Manuka as “best” because of measured mar...
Controlled laboratory and animal studies plus several reviews identify biologically plausible ways honey could protect brain cells and improve memory — chiefly its polyphenols’ antioxidant and anti‑in...
