As a health and nutrition expert, I often advise on dietary recommendations based on current research and guidelines. When it comes to honey, it's important to remember that it is a natural sweetener and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
The American Heart Association recommends that women should limit added sugars to no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) per day, and men should limit themselves to 9 teaspoons (38 grams) per day. Since honey contains about 17 grams of sugar per tablespoon, this would mean that a woman could have about 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey, and a man could have about 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons per day, as part of their overall sugar allowance.
However, individual tolerance to sugar can vary, and it's always best to consider your overall health, any dietary restrictions, and to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

However, in order to really pack an antioxidant punch, you'd have to consume more than a teaspoon or two of honey; the American Heart Association recommends that most women consume no more than 25 grams or (6 teaspoons) of total added sugar per day (that's about 100 calories worth).
