Pesticide Damage in Humans is Reversed With Organic
Honey
In this remarkable new study, researchers not only showed that honey extracts protected human lung and brain cells from the genetic damage done by pesticides—including glyphosphate—they also showed that organic honey (50 grams daily) actually reversed the genetic damage done by long term exposure to pesticides in living people. The extracts did this by restoring their cells’ DNA repair mechanisms back to normal levels—after just two weeks! The people taking part in the study live in an agricultural area of Italy where apples are grown and pesticides (including glyphosphate) are used regularly. Honey is known to be rich in health-boosting polyphenols, including several known anti-cancer flavonoids such as kaempferol, quercetin, luteolin and apigenin. But it also contains very unique antioxidants such as chrysin, which is concentrated in flower pollen and nectar but hard to find elsewhere. So the next time you need sweetener, consider using organic honey for an extra measure of protection from glyphosphate and other pesticides.
