News Topical, Digital Desk : Drinking honey mixed with warm water in the morning is a part of many people's routine. It is considered a great recipe for weight loss, boosting immunity and improving digestion, but have you ever wondered if it is really as beneficial as we think? Recently, a Harvard doctor has made a shocking revelation on this common belief (Honey in Hot Water Toxic or Myth), which has forced many people to think. Let's find out.

What is the myth related to honey?

There have been claims on social media and some health blogs that adding honey to hot water turns the nutrients in honey into "poison" or makes it cancer-causing (Does Hot Water Make Honey Poisonous). Obviously, many people are scared by this and are considering changing their years-old habit.

In such a situation, the Harvard doctor has completely rejected this claim. Yes, in the reel shared on Instagram, he has clarified that adding honey to hot water does not make it poisonous. He said, this is a big myth which has no scientific basis.

What do the experts say?

Doctor says that this is just a myth. In fact, when honey is heated, it can lose some of its nutritional quality. For example, some of the enzymes and antioxidants present in it may become less effective at high temperatures, but this does not mean that it becomes toxic or harms your body.

You can use honey in your hot tea, milk or any hot drink. This will not only sweeten your drink but you will also get the natural benefits of honey. Although it is true that heating honey too much can reduce some of its micronutrients , it does not turn it into poison.
