Life Mel Honey is a brand of honey produced by Zuf Globus Laboratories Ltd, Kiryat Shmona, Israel. It was developed by Dr. Alexander Goroshit, who started his research in the Soviet Union.[1] According to its manufacturer, Life Mel is made by honey bees fed on a diet which includes herbs such as Siberian Ginseng, Echinacea and Uncaria tomentosa.[2]
The product was the subject of news coverage in December 2007 when the London-based Harrods department store billed it as the world’s most expensive honey, selling at £42 per 120 g pot.[3]
Claims regarding the medical benefits of Life Mel honey[edit]
The company has claimed that their honey is useful in treating chemotherapy patients based on a small 30 person pilot study.[4] There have also been claims that the product is useful for the treatment of hay-fever based on anecdotal evidence.[5]
An article published in The Guardian has suggested the company's honey has been promoted with false claims of health benefits, including the claim it can combat cancer.[6]
