Honey exhibits significant anti-Helicobacter pylori activity, with at least 10% concentration proving effective in inhibiting gastric and duodenal ulcers, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
2020 Sains Malaysiana In vitro Study of Anti-Helicobacter pylori Activity of Honey: A Systematic Review Adam Q, Annuar F, Alfizah H, Mohd Fahami NA
Systematic Review Gastritis H Pylori Honey
The research involved a comprehensive review of 53 articles from electronic databases such as Medline via Ovid Medline, Scopus, and ScienceDirect spanning from 2000 to 2018. Selection criteria focused on studies reporting honey's effects on H. pylori-induced gastric and duodenal ulcers. Nine chosen articles detailed the positive impact of honey, suggesting a minimum 10% concentration as effective against H. pylori. The review underscores the need for further exploration into honey's active components and molecular mechanisms.
The positive outcomes reported in selected studies support honey's potential in inhibiting H. pylori infections, emphasizing the need for further investigations to elucidate the active components and underlying molecular mechanisms. The review sets the stage for future research aiming to provide robust evidence for the use of honey in clinical settings.
Regular consumption of honey and yogurt may lower the prevalence of H. pylori infection and reduce the virulence of strains.

Cohort Study H Pylori Honey Yoghurt
The study evaluated the association between dietary factors and the prevalence of an unnamed infection or virulence strain among 294 adult asymptomatic blood donors. The seroprevalence was evaluated using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The study employed logistic regression in its analysis. Key dietary factors studied were the frequent consumption of honey and yogurt, specifically >5 days in a week. Smoking and consumption of other dietary factors were also considered.
In the analysis of results, it was found that frequent consumption of honey and yogurt was associated with reduced infection seroprevalence and virulence. Specifically, the study discovered a reverse association between honey or yogurt consumption and the prevalence of the virulence strain, marking it as a novel finding. The effect of other dietary factors and smoking were, however, found to be insignificant in disease prevalence. The study suggests that regular honey and yogurt consumption could enhance control in therapy for the infection.
In 2004, polyphenols were isolated from mung bean sprouts, which exert antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, one of the most common causative organisms in gastrointestinal disorders.
2016 Food Chemistry Phytochemical distribution in hull and cotyledon of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis L.) and mung bean (Vigna radiate L.), and their contribution to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities Jiaqiang Luo, Weixi Cai, Tong Wu, Baojun Xu
Experimental Study Antibacterial H Pylori Mung Bean
The utility of bioactive compounds from food legumes as natural antimicrobial agents are commonly known as biocides. Mung bean sprouts have potent antiviral and prophylactic activities against respiratory syncytial virus and Herpes Simplex virus −1, and these activities were comparable with Acyclovir. The underlying mechanism was attributed to active components of mung bean sprouts potentially induce antiviral cytokines in human cells and thereby nullify the actions on viral proliferation. Similarly, antifungal and antiviral potency of two beans proteins, designated alpha (28 kDa) and beta (28 kDa) proteins were isolated and were capable of inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase and glycohydrolases associated with HIV infection. Further, antifungal peptides (7.3 kDa, 9.03 kDa) were isolated from beans, which exerted an antifungal effects and inhibited mycelial growth in Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, Pythium aphanidermatum, Sclerotium rolfsii, Mycosphaerella arachidicola, and antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, two proteins, Mungin (18-kDa) and chitinase (30.8 kDa) isolated from mung bean seeds possess antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, Coprinus comatus, Mycosphaerella arachidicola, Botrytis cinerea, and Fusarium oxysporum. Mungin and chitinase exert an inhibitory activity against α- and β-glucosidases, suppressing [3H] thymidine in the corporation by mouse splenocytes. In 2004, polyphenols were isolated from mung bean sprouts, which exert antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, one of the most common causative organisms in gastrointestinal disorders. Furthermore, several in vitro and in vivo studies have also been reported that mung bean seeds are protective against sepsis.
