Honey Found to Inhibit Tumor Growth in Mice
Researchers in Croatia have found that honey and royal jelly inhibit tumors in mice. Tumor growth and metastasis were lessened in the mice who received injections of bee propolis and royal jelly. Honey taken orally also had beneficial effects in mice if it was given before they were injected with cancer cells. If the cancer cells had already been injected, the honey was shown to increase secondary tumor growth.
