Honey is food and cheap. And easily available. And natural. What’s not to love?



I have nothing against honey - I enjoy it as much as anyone else.

My point was more that this honey specifically costs far more than normal honey (or even other boutique honeys with a unique flavour) seemingly just because it has the marketing cachet of being 'anti-microbial', which as far as I can tell doesn't seem to be actually beneficial in any way.


Manuka honey is certainly not cheap


Concentrated sugar is unhealthy in all but small doses.


I think Manuka is also used topically.
