Participants in a study reported in the Scientific World Journal ate 70g of honey daily for thirty days. Honey reportedly lowered the participants' overall cholesterol by three percent. Still another study in the Journal of Medicine and Food found an 8 percent drop in cholesterol. These results are especially important since they show honey's possible natural substitute for controlling cholesterol levels. The significant antioxidant value of honey and its special mix of natural sugars are thought to be the sources of this action. Research indicates that honey's phenolic components and flavonoids assist lower oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system, which is rather important for control of cholesterol. Furthermore, honey's natural enzymes could aid in the body's lipid metabolism, so enhancing the control of cholesterol. Unlike refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, honey's complicated makeup seems to complement the body's natural systems to lower cholesterol.
