The Claim
Honey is associated with a significantly greater reduction in combined cough symptom score, frequency, and severity of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults, based on a systematic review of multiple studies.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Honey might help reduce cough symptoms and make colds less severe for both kids and adults, according to a review of many studies.
