re: How much sugar is added to honey?

Mayo Clinic says

Can honey lessen seasonal allergy symptoms?

Probably not. Honey has been anecdotally reported to lessen symptoms in people with seasonal allergies. But these results haven't been consistently duplicated in clinical studies.

The theory of exposure to small amounts of pollen building up immunity is plausible; that's how docs treat allergies. But they control how much and what allergen you get. What you get in honey is a tiny amount of pollen from something you are likely not allergic too.

Pollen from weeds, trees, and grasses is the leading cause of seasonal allergies. Wind usually whips the yellowy dust from these plants into the air.

Bees, which make honey, tend to pick up pollen from brightly colored flowers. Pollen from these blooms rarely causes allergies.
