The Claim
In the rat air pouch model, a decrease in angiogenesis correlates with the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting a potential mechanistic relationship.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When certain chemicals are blocked in rats, it seems to slow down the growth of new blood vessels, which might explain how this process works.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Natural Honey: A New and Potent Anti-Angiogenic Agent in the Air-Pouch Model of Inflammation
The study shows that when honey reduces blood vessel growth in rats, it also lowers certain chemicals linked to inflammation, which matches the claim about how these things are connected.
