[toc]Maybe it’s the wholesome image, unlike the perception of table sugar. Or perhaps it’s because bees make it. Whatever the reason, so many remedies claim that honey is the magic touch needed to work. We have already debunked the garlic and honey scam, which is claimed to help you ward off infections, colds, and even the flu (and NO, it won’t help COVID-19, that’s another myth).
