Summary
This study looked at whether eating honey every day could help obese women with insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to diabetes. Twenty women took part, consuming honey or a sugar-based alternative for a set period. Researchers measured blood sugar, insulin, and other health markers to see if honey made a difference.

Active substance
honey
What this could lead to
If honey helps, it could offer a natural way to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce diabetes risk in obese women.
What could go wrong
This was a very small trial (20 women) with no phase, so results are preliminary. Honey is still sugar and may not benefit everyone.
