Honey for weight loss. [Newspaper] (2019)
Abstract
Combating obesity using sugar might sound too good to be true. Associate Professor Dr Wan Iryani Wan Ismail begs to differ.
The Universiti Malaysia Terengganu senior lecturer is a strong advocate of honey for its remedial values. Currently, she is researching on the mechanism of honey consumption in human body, specifically in the fat cells.
“Research has shown that honey can reduce the size of fat cells. In the long run, it can control excessive weight gain,” said Wan Iryani.
She was recently named one of the L’Oreal-Unesco Fellowship For Women in Science award winners in recognition of her research efforts. With the research grant, she hopes to produce a capsule-based health supplement, which contains natural honey to treat obesity.
