Quality Street Matchmakers Honeycomb 120g

Product Information

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). 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. What’s more, the alcohols found in beeswax may help reduce insulin resistance, a condition that contributes to high blood sugar levels. 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). Its main component is raw honey, which offers small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals — but is composed of 95–99% sugar and water ( 3, 4).

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.

These lower insulin levels may indicate reduced insulin resistance, which could also benefit people with diabetes.

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). There is something for everyone in the range including family favourites Smarties, Rowntree’s, Milkybar, Rolo and more, plus this year there will be two brand new launches. Because it hasn’t been processed, raw honey contains enzymes like glucose oxidase, which give honey antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. 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). Such enzymes are destroyed by the heating and filtering used to process most commercial honey ( 5).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.

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. 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). This indulgent collection contains five delicious flavours: Dark Peppermint Truffle, Dark Peppermint Cream, Dark Peppermint Crisp, Dark Orange and Peppermint Cream and Milk Peppermint and and Milk Peppermint Truffle. Honeycomb also contains beeswax, which provides heart-healthy long-chain fatty acids and alcohols. These compounds may help lower cholesterol levels ( 13, 14).

Research suggests that they may help reduce your risk of diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer ( 12). Nestlé Confectionery announces a Christmas 2022 range full of festive favourites and exciting new launches from its iconic brands. What’s more, replacing sugar with honey may also help lower triglyceride levels by up to 19% ( 15, 16, 17, 18, 19).
