Honey is known to contain sugar. WHO's daily sugar recommendation is 10% of daily energy. Men should consume no more than 36 grams of sugar daily, while women and children should consume no more than 24 grams daily. A teaspoon of honey contains 6 grams of sugar, so the maximum daily sugar intake should not exceed 4-6 teaspoons. Additionally, we must pay attention to other sources of sugar.
