The Claim
Daily intake of honey-sweetened yogurt for four weeks has no significant effect on plasma bile acid concentrations in healthy postmenopausal women.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy postmenopausal women, eating honey-sweetened yogurt every day for four weeks does not change the levels of bile acids in the blood.
See the scientific wording
In healthy postmenopausal women, daily intake of honey-sweetened yogurt for four weeks did not significantly affect plasma bile acid concentrations, indicating that honey’s phenolic compounds did not alter bile acid metabolism or enterohepatic circulation in this population.
Honey contains compounds that reduce a specific inflammatory signal in the body, but this does not change how the liver and intestines recycle digestive acids called bile acids.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that eating honey-sweetened yogurt for four weeks didn’t change the levels of bile acids in the blood of postmenopausal women, just like the claim says. So, honey didn’t seem to affect how their bodies recycle these digestive compounds.
