There’s No Such Thing As Brain Honey—Dementia ‘Cure’ Is A Scam

https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2026/04/21/theres-no-such-thing-as-brain-honey/

False reports, including a fake CNN screenshot, are circulating on social media, claiming that a product based on honey can cure Alzheimer's disease.

Under names such as Brain Honey, Mind Boost, Brain Vex or Memopezil, scammers are touting products said to be able to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, often with claims that they've been endorsed by Bill Gates.

Some reports also cite other celebrities, including Steve Martin, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and news anchor Savannah Guthrie, as having endorsed the products.

But, said fact-checking site Snopes, "We found no evidence that Gates created, endorsed or sold products marketed under names such as 'Brain Honey’, 'Mind Boost' and ‘Memopezil.’ Rather, the ads and landing pages matched a familiar scam pattern of using Gates' name and image to draw people into long sales pitches for unproven supplements."
