It Has a Lower Glycemic Index than White Sugar
A 2013 study in New Zealand found that manuka honey ranked 54 to 59 on the glycemic index (GI). [7] GI scores are a measure of how food can raise blood sugar levels. And the higher the number, the more likely your glucose levels are to rise. Since tyhis honey has only about 21 alorie per teaspoon also has a sweetening ability that is higher than that of white sugar. Therefore it can be used as a natural sweetener in the stead of white sugar.
Even in addition to all the benefits listed above, in a randomized controlled trial, consumption of manuka honey has been shown to prevent tooth decay and gingivitis after orthodontic treatment. In addition, research has shown that manuka honey and other raw honey can be used to rinse the mouth, and this solution is as effective as chlorhexidine. Looking at this list of useful properties of manuka honey, we can confidently say that it is already seen as a trend, and it is worth stocking up on a jar of this magical product on your shelf.
