A staple of most pantry's may have a medicinal purpose as a treatment for burns.

Researchers in New Zealand reviewed 19 clinical trials looking at the effects of honey on mild to moderate burns.

They found people who used honey had faster healing times, although they couldn't show a clear benefit with honey over traditional treatments like gauze and film dressings.

Researchers say they are not recommending honey as a treatment for burns just yet, but they hope one day it can be a useful alternative treatment.

Taking certain pain relievers may lower a woman's risk for breast cancer, according to a large review of data.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like aspirin and Advil, were shown to lower the risk for breast cancer by 12 percent, compared to non-users. That is according a review of 38 studies including over 2 million women.

While the results were promising, researchers are not ready to recommend pain relievers as a preventative measure for breast cancer saying there are potential faults with the study method.

These pain relievers have also been linked to heart complications -- some carry black box warnings.
