it was on a history channel egypt special back in the 80's, prefaced with how historical claims must be taken with scepticism and plenty of salt. It went on to say how honey was used in wounds suffered during combat to heal up their soldiers from otherwise fatal wounds. This was how egpyt became a regional power, it had battlefield medicine and significantly more veterans surviving each battle. Today, surgeons are dipping their surgical blades in honey before each incision, and have demonstrated a 90% reduction in post op infections compared to standard sterilization procedures. 20 years prior, it can considered weird and stupid to try using honey on an open wound, but it kills bacteria, and the body breaks it down with acid, which becomes instant cell fuel to turbo charge the healing process and repair the injury faster.
