User's Guide to Propolis, Royal Jelly, Honey, and Bee Pollen (Basic Health Publications User's Guide)

Book excerpt: The food products of bees have long been attributed with many health benefits. They can lead to greater stamina, increased resistance to disease, and, counterintuitively, often help reduce pollen allergies. Scientific studies have revealed that bee propolis, royal jelly, honey, and bee pollen are rich sources of antioxidant "phytochlemicals"-vitamin-like substances similar to those found in common vegatables. In this User's Guide, Dr. Broadhurst explains the scientific rationale behind bee foods and describes how they can improve your health.
