About this deal

Antioxidants are beneficial plant compounds that promote health, reduce inflammation, and protect your body against disease. Their levels may be up to 4.3 times higher in raw than in processed honey ( 8, 9, 10, 11). Research shows that the long-chain fatty acids and alcohols found in beeswax may reduce high blood cholesterol levels, a risk factor for heart disease. One small study in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) — a medical condition in which fat accumulates in your liver, often accompanied by insulin resistance — found that beeswax alcohol extracts reduced insulin levels by 37% ( 30).

Moreover, raw honey is less likely to be contaminated with sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup and also tends to contain more antioxidants than processed honey ( 6, 7, 8). Nestlé Confectionery announces a Christmas 2022 range full of festive favourites and exciting new launches from its iconic brands.

Aero Peppermint Chocolate Bar

The new Aero Peppermint Bubbles giant tube will be joined by the Smarties White giant tube, which taps into the growing trend for white chocolate. However, because it contains honey, it is at risk of contamination from C. botulinum spores. These are particularly harmful to pregnant women and children under 12 months of age ( 27, 28). What’s more, the alcohols found in beeswax may help reduce insulin resistance, a condition that contributes to high blood sugar levels.

For instance, one review notes that beeswax alcohols may help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol by up to 29% while raising “good” HDL cholesterol by 8–15% ( 14). Moreover, people with allergies to bee venom or pollen may want to use caution when eating honeycomb, as it may cause an allergic reaction ( 34). In 2017, before Matchmakers reached its 50th anniversary, Matchmakers became available in a new limited edition 'Salted Caramel' flavour, and from the 50th anniversary in October 2018 another limited edition flavour of ' Gingerbread'. September 2019 saw another limited edition flavour's appearance in a sky blue box called 'Maple & Pecan'. [2]These lower insulin levels may indicate reduced insulin resistance, which could also benefit people with diabetes. To minimize the risk of this happening, it may be best to avoid eating large amounts of honeycomb daily — or simply spit out the waxy cells. However, the studies in this review used high levels of isolated alcohols derived from beeswax, making it difficult to know whether the small amounts of beeswax in honeycomb would produce the same effects. What’s more, replacing sugar with honey may also help lower triglyceride levels by up to 19% ( 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). Such enzymes are destroyed by the heating and filtering used to process most commercial honey ( 5).

One small study gave participants either 70 grams of sugar or honey per day. After 30 days, those in the honey group raised their “good” HDL cholesterol by 3.3% and lowered their “bad” LDL cholesterol by 5.8% ( 19).

Shredded Wheat 16 Biscuits

In 2022 the 'Salted Caramel', 'Gingerbread' and 'Maple & Pecan' flavours have all been withdrawn and 'Yummy Honeycomb' and 'Coffee' flavours have returned with the name changing due to merging 'Coffee' and 'Salted Caramel' flavours to Caramel Coffee and cutting the name to Honeycomb. Brand new for 2022 is Cherry & Mint flavour, voted for by consumers, with dark chocolate and cherry proving a winning combination. Also new is the After Eight Mint Collection box which aims to bring new shoppers into the inlaid category. Polyphenols are honey’s main type of antioxidant. Research suggests that they may help reduce your risk of diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer ( 12).
