5 Hazardous Things You Should Never Combine with Honey

Caution is advised when combining honey with certain foods to prevent adverse health effects.

Honey is a valuable food with many health benefits, but it can interact badly with some things. We need to be careful when using it.

Honey can react badly with other substances, causing health problems or making it less effective.

Here are some foods to avoid combining with honey:

1. Hot Water

High temperatures can damage honey’s beneficial enzymes and nutrients. Allow your drink to cool slightly before adding honey.

2. Citrus Juices

Combining honey with citrus juices (like lemon or orange) may cause digestive discomfort, heartburn, or acid reflux due to acidity reactions.

3. Alcohol

Honey can enhance alcohol absorption, leading to faster intoxication and increased hangover risk.

Additionally, honey’s sugar content can exacerbate dehydration.

4. Certain Medications

Honey’s high natural sugar content can interact negatively with diabetes or blood sugar medications, spiking blood glucose levels.

5. Garlic

Mixing garlic with honey may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, or gas due to strong sulphurous compounds.
