This may just be a language thing. Those aren't allergies to me, they are symptoms of allergies.

To me, allergies are things like a peanut allergy, penicillin allergy, latex allergy, etc.

    The paper calls them allergies, and has a column for them. I’m going to go with what the scientists say.

    The paper literally doesnt call them allergies. It says "allergic disease", which is an effect (i.e., symptom) of an allergy.

    And like I mentioned before, 4/5 of those studies dont show an improvement due to honey over a control group. The fifth study, I can access, but it doesnt even have a control, and it's not testing just honey, anyway.
