Doctor Alexander Umnov: even natural honey can “help” diabetes appear if consumed in the wrong amount.
Doctor Umnov noted in a comment to NEWS.ru that honey is only useful in the right amount.
“You shouldn't overeat even high-quality natural honey, as this can lead to diabetes,” the expert warned.
Umnov drew attention to the fact that honey should not be added to hot tea. At high temperatures, the product is destroyed and the body only gets “naked” sugar as a dry residue, leading to an increase in glucose levels.
The doctor specified when honey does not cause diabetes – for this, the product should be consumed daily in a volume not exceeding one tablespoon. According to Umnov, such an amount of honey has a positive effect of stimulating the immune system due to the antioxidants and flavonoids inherent in it.
In addition, the doctor added, medicine associates the use of honey with a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes. In addition, the product has an antidepressant effect, promotes the healing of ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum.
