Every health hipster has a jar of manuka honey on their
shelves - if they can afford it that is, a jar can cost about £15. But many
claim it is worth its weight in gold, due to its unique antibacterial
properties. Traditionally it was used on wounds, but many also claim that it
performs miracles combatting cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and digestive
problems (although the science is limited). Now bee pollen is the latest
‘superfood’ out there - thought to ward off colds, limit food cravings, improve
skin tone, ward off allergies like hay fever (although some caution that it may
exacerbate them) and, of course, fight cancer. Again, the science behind these
claims is dubious - but it certainly adds a nice sweetness to your morning
porridge.
