Oo boy. More pseudoscience coming your way on OzB. The promoted products are all Manuka Honey. The supposed health benefits are:
"Unique to New Zealand MGO™ Manuka honey is a 100% natural food shown to have beneficial activity due to the active compound – Dietary Methylglyoxal which forms naturally in the nectar of the manuka plant.
Unique MGO™ Manuka Honey is collected from a New Zealand plant called Leptospermum scoparium. For quite some time the unique manuka honey activity was known and measured by a general measurement of its biological effect.
What was causing the beneficial activity remained unknown for almost 15 years until a research group led by Professor Thomas Henle, University of Dresden (Germany) discovered what makes MGO™Manuka Honey so special.
MGO™ Manuka honey has a significant Dietary Methylglyoxal content ranging from 20mg/kg to over 800mg/kg. In contrast all other honeys worldwide tested have ranged between 1 to 10 mg/kg."TL;DR? Methylglyoxal is good.
Really only for wound healing, no other evidence of "dietary" benefits. Well not double blind n=>18 etc stuff :)
Yeah, nah, People can do their own research but here's just one summary that's a worth a look.
