Manuka Honey Panic Buying
One product in significant demand over the last two weeks is Manuka honey from New Zealand. Manuka honey is the only honey in the world to contain a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), "the benefit comes from the bush, not the bee," explains Andrew Thain from Family Foods Ltd. "The nectar used in the production of Manuka honey comes from the Leptospermum scoparium bush, which is part of the Tea Tree family".
Manuka honey is seen by many users as a superfood and is becoming increasingly popular for its associated health benefits. Most honey is believed to have some bacteria killing properties because it contains chemicals that produce hydrogen peroxide. However, in 1991, a study from Waikato University in New Zealand showed that when you remove the hydrogen peroxide from honey, Manuka honey is the only type that keeps its ability to kill bacteria. This is due to the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO).
