Can I add honey to hot drinks?

There is an opinion that honey is only 80% sugar and its effect on the body is comparable to that of regular sugar. It is for this reason that many people have begun to avoid honey, although they would rather focus on a regular morning croissant instead of a full breakfast.

Honey has been my tried-and-true medicine since childhood, when my parents started an apiary on purpose to strengthen my poor health. And it was the right decision back then.

I use honey as an antipyretic, to reduce the symptoms of intoxication, as a choleretic, as a sleeping pill, as a wound healer, in the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal mucosa, in the treatment of upper respiratory tract mucosa.

Of course, if you eat honey as a delicacy, rather than treating it as a medicine and eating it in doses, you can get a number of unpleasant and obvious consequences.

The most popular question is: can I add honey to hot drinks? Please, if it tastes good to you. The beneficial properties are largely lost. But honey does not become poisonous, as is often written about on the Internet.

For example, hot water with honey and lemon juice perfectly stimulates bile secretion. And there is even a naturopathic protocol for dissolving gallstones with honey water. Although many people still do not understand how this effect is achieved. And they see in such honey water only a threat to the pancreas and risks in terms of developing insulin resistance.

I will leave this point as a mystery and a cause for reflection.
