Reply to comment by spayder26 in ELI5. Why is honey and lemon a popular cure for cold like symptoms. What makes lemon more effective than say an orange or lime? by alexkid_in_realworld
Honey is used not just because it was available before other sugar syrups, but because it's naturally antimicrobial. That and the sugar content is why it doesn't go bad.
