Eating honey on an empty stomach is a dietary habit, not medically proven, says cardiologist

Cardiologist and professor of arterial catheterization Dr. Khaled Al-Nemer has stated that eating honey on an empty stomach is simply a dietary habit and its medical benefits have not been scientifically proven.

Al-Nemer added on the X platform that consuming honey in this way is only a dietary custom for some people, and there is no solid scientific evidence that it offers specific medical benefits, cleanses the body, or protects against diseases and tumors.

He continued that this practice may be unhealthy for people with diabetes, obesity, or low physical activity, but it could be nutritionally beneficial if it is counted within the total daily caloric intake.
