I had honey sandwiches at school for 13yrs. I've had 4 kids without trying. It may affect your reproduction but only in the positive sense!

I have completed a Biology degree, and I have never heard anything like that! It sounds like a ridiculous myth to me!
In small quantities natural honey is actually quite good for you. However, because of it's high sugar content, in large quantities it may affect you weight! (which is why elders may say not to eat it, so you don't gain weight!)
However, I see no reason what-so-ever for it to affect your ability to reproduce!

Sounds like an old wives' tale to me. It *might* have evolved from the fact that you should NOT (this is legit) give an infant honey. But for yourself? Eat all the honey you want!

No truth.
It is true that you shouldn't give honey to children under 2, though, because of the risk of a type of botulism.

This is crap. Royal jelly can affect fertility, by increasing it. Honey has no effect on fertility whatsoever, unless you are a female bee.

TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE. THAT IS THE QUESTION HONEY.
WHAT A LOT OF RUBBISH, HONEY IS THE BEST TONIC UNLESS YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO IT?
