The peer-reviewed literature behind everything we publish: cited studies, annotated sources, and methodology notes.
Every claim in the Cliff Mad Honey Index is backed by published science. This section is an annotated library of the peer-reviewed studies, clinical case series, and scientific papers we reference across the site. We do not conduct original research. We read, verify, and clearly explain what the existing literature says.
