More on the topic that includes other uses as an antioxidant.

In summary, dark is usually better but as a food it is middling compared
to most other foods so designated, plus you can eat more of them
compared to honey so get much more benefit. If you like lots of
broccoli.
But its use as an anti-spoilage agent in meats is very promising as well
as its use in skin creams. Could open up very large markets.
So there are some very promising uses, just not necessarily by itsself
as a sweetener and antioxidant. From a health food point of view, it
needs to be compared to sugar. There it wins hands down.
Interesting that the research was conducted to find a market for darker
(soy bean) honey.
