Gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in the world. Honey is a complex mixture of special biological active constituents. Honey possesses antioxidant and antitumor properties.

Our chief study was conducted to assess the relationship between consumption of honey and apoptosis in human gastric mucosa.
