#Debunking # Rumor Title: Honey and garlic can treat Helicobacter pylori infection

Rumor content: Helicobacter pylori can cause stomach cancer, but as long as you usually eat more honey and garlic, you can kill them and reduce the risk of stomach cancer.

Truth interpretation: The "sterilization artifacts" spread on the Internet, such as honey and garlic, cannot treat Helicobacter pylori infection. Although bacteria will apoptosis in the hypertonic liquid of honey because they cannot maintain their inherent moisture, honey will be diluted when it enters the stomach, and the effect of sterilization cannot be achieved. In addition, honey is high in sugar, and excessive intake will also stimulate gastric acid secretion and aggravate stomach discomfort symptoms. Although the allicin contained in garlic can inhibit the growth of bacteria, it will decompose after entering the human body, so it is difficult to play a role in sterilization and bacteriostatic. Other remedies (such as onions, broccoli, green peppers, etc.) that can kill Helicobacter pylori are also unsustainable.
