The FDA cautioned these supposed “natural” nectars could adversely interact with other prescriptions or cause significant health risks to people with diabetes and heart conditions. Besides that, the FDA wrote in 2022, “there is no medical proof that consuming this type of honey with herbs will provide any sexual enhancement or other claimed benefits.”
CNN was unable to find documentation of a direct link between the honey company and Trump. Reached by email, a spokesperson for the honey seller, Vladimir Dmitriev, called it “a highly reputable company,” but declined to respond to a list of questions. Though none of the questions mentioned Trump, Dmitriev told CNN, “We’ve received direction from our leadership in the US not to engage with any news agencies (specifically CNN) until after November 5th,” which is Election Day.
Asked in a follow up email if the company had any business ties to Trump, the company responded that it “cannot provide any information or details at this time.”
