Can you drink honey for lung cancer?

You can drink honey for lung cancer, but you have to control the total amount of carbohydrates.

Honey, a popular food, contains L-cysteine component which is detoxifying and better able to improve diseases caused by toxin accumulation. Honey is also a health food. The main component of honey is monosaccharides that can be directly absorbed by the body, and fresh honey contains more than 70% glucose and fructose.

Carbohydrates produce more carbon dioxide during metabolism, e.g. the respiratory quotient of a food is 1, i.e. 1 molecule of glucose produces 1 molecule of carbon dioxide, but the respiratory quotient of fat is only 0.7, while the respiratory quotient of protein is 0.8, so carbohydrates produce more carbon dioxide in oxidation than protein and fat, increasing the respiratory load, so in the nutritional treatment of respiratory diseases Therefore, in the nutritional treatment of respiratory diseases, it is more prudent to use higher fat instead of higher carbohydrate to supply calories. So although lung cancer patients can drink honey, it is important to control the functional ratio of carbohydrates so as not to increase the respiratory load.
