okay what the fuck is going on with honey

it has antimicrobial and other medicinal properties despite being literally sugar (ie microbe food)

it is almost chemically identical with hfcs but is healthy somehow

look at this shit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Medical_use_and_research

like, its close enough to hfcs that a lot of honey in stores is actually cut with it, and the regulators cant tell the difference https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey/#.Ud8ATBZpctt

furious googling of "are bees magic" reveals that bees have powerful magical properties according to internet witches and also that there is a minecraft mod with magic bees
