Both refer to trials in NZ which said that honey can be used to prevent
tooth decay.

There were other articles but not relating to the NZ trials quite a few
years back saying about the same thing. It all comes back to the
antibiotic qualities of honey as well as hydrogen peroxide production
and the neutralizing (ph buffering) effects of honey. All inhibit
bacterial growth.
