So what's the verdict?
As with many so-called superfoods, the claims surrounding bee pollen range from possible to far-fetched. “There is no solid research in humans showing that bee pollen can treat allergies, prevent cancer, or enhance energy,” points out Clarke and Jarosh of C&J Nutrition. “However, it does have some healthy qualities, including antioxidants, specifically phenols, which may lower the risk of cancer and overall body inflammation.”
But hey, if you like the taste of it, definitely add some to your morning yogurt—or even sprinkle it on your cocktail! Just don’t go out of your way to consume it solely for health reasons.
