Mel com metilglioxal

Cientistas na Austrália, da Universidade de Sydney, comprovaram a eficiência do mel Neo-zeolandês Manuka no tratamento de infecções de pele e no combate às infecções hospitalares.

A substância metilglioxal contida nesse tipo de mel da Oceania é altamente tóxica para as bactérias. Até a superbactéria MRSA, resistente a vários antibióticos, e que provoca infecções hospitalares, pode ser combatida com o mel da Oceania, o mel Neo-zeolandês Manuka, diz um dos autores do estudo, o cientista Dee Carter, que também concorda que novos estudos devem ser feitos para comprovar à classe médica, o poder desse medicamento alternativo.

“Precisamos da ciência por trás disso, e é o que estamos fazendo. Médicos não querem ouvir falar de algo que pode soar como coisa de curandeiro. Eles querem algo com validação científica“, afirma Dee Carter.

Conforme os cientistas, o metilglioxal também é tóxico aos humanos, contudo o mel da Oceania, com suas propriedades probióticas possui outras substâncias que anulam esse efeito tóxico sobre a célula humana.

Os estudos seguem para que num futuro próximo, produtos esterilizados com o mel Manuka substituam as pomadas antibacterianas e anti-sépticas no tratamento de cortes, picadas de inseto, queimaduras e outras doenças de pele.

Os benefícios desse mel da Oceania, vão além do tratamento de doenças de pele. Suas propriedades probióticas contém carboidratos que agem tanto no intestino delgado, como no intestino grosso, desenvolvendo a formação de bactérias saudáveis, que evitam o acumulo de toxinas previnindo doenças como o câncer intestinal, a colite ulcerativa, a doença de Crohn e a síndrome do intestino irritável.
