I guess my grandma was right about honey...

I have long suspected that cough syrups are worthless and I'm kind of glad to have scientific evidence that sugar water does just as well. So my grandmother's solution of a teaspoon of warm honey wasn't too far off the mark. Of course, you can't give honey to little children, but for the older ones (and us adults), this is a down-home remedy worth trying the next time you have one of those dry, racking coughs that keep you up all night.
