    All of these facts are true about honey. Honey's pH is 3.9, which classifies it as an acid. The Egyptians used honey on a regular basis to embalm people, as honey is one of the only foods that never spoils. Honey is 65.54% water by volume. Honey may also be used as an antiseptic for burns and ulcers.
