Raw Honey

+0.4

Raw honey contains polyphenols and enzymes with anti-inflammatory properties, though its fructose content can still elevate blood sugar and trigger mild inflammatory responses.

Ingredient score breakdown

Fructose

+0.8

High fructose concentration can promote uric acid production and hepatic inflammation when consumed in excess.

Polyphenols and flavonoids

-0.5

Antioxidant compounds like chrysin and pinocembrin reduce oxidative stress and NF-kB inflammatory signaling.

Enzymes (glucose oxidase)

-0.2

Natural enzymes produce hydrogen peroxide with mild antimicrobial and wound-healing properties.

Bee pollen traces

+0.3

While nutrient-dense, pollen proteins can trigger allergic inflammatory responses in sensitive individuals.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

High FODMAP due to excess fructose. Limit to 1 teaspoon per serving to stay within low FODMAP guidelines.
