The nutritional composition of honey is very complicated. When onion and honey are eaten together, organic acids and enzymes in honey meet sulfur-containing amino acids in onion, which will cause harmful biochemical reactions or produce toxic substances, stimulate gastrointestinal tract and lead to diarrhea. Although there is no saying that onions and honey can't be eaten together in textbooks, it has always been said by the people.

In the ancient book synopsis of the golden chamber, it is also recorded that "raw onions should not be eaten with honey to kill people" and "it is heartbreaking to eat raw onions and leeks within four days after eating honey". There is also a saying in "Drinking and Eating" that "raw onions can't be eaten with honey", which has spread to this day. However, Li Shizhen quoted Sun Simiao, a famous doctor, as saying in Compendium of Materia Medica that "raw onion honey leads to diarrhea".
