Raw honey, but not pasteurized honey, increases nitric oxide precursors, which are essential for endothelial cell function and vasodilation.

“there are compounds in honey that actually increase nitric oxide in the human plasma”

“the interesting important nuance is that the honey must be raw uh that if you look at the studies with nitric oxide precursors they're degraded when the honey is not raw”

“So if you look at studies like this, you will find that real honey for instance has nitric oxide precursors in it. It has things in it which create more nitric oxide metabolites in the human body.”

“But I don't think strawberries and honey that's raw from a hive in Africa or from a hive here in Costa Rica or from a hive there in in in Texas, I think there's actually good data suggest that that's going to have an opposite effect on your arterial dilation and these other metrics that we're sort of looking at and using as proxies as we create this this ceiling for where our blood glucose would be.”

“there's studies with honey that show that when you give people raw honey but not pasteurized honey you get an increase in nitric oxide precursors in the human body now nitric oxide is critical it's this simple molecule no that's used and made in the endothelial cells to cause vasodilatation”
