It's called opportunity cost.

If the video says that honey is some magical nectar panacea for all ills, then I would have wasted my time listen to some fraudster selling snake oil.

If the video sticks to scientific facts and explains that honey is just water with sugar, then I already know that, so I'm wasting my time too.

I'd rather use my time doing useful stuff.

Lol. Ok.

If it’s worth the opportunity, the podcaster is a PA turned MD (if you like appeals to authority at all 🤷‍♂️) and he cites an 8 week study with diabetics where honey had negligible impact. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26883464_Effects_of_natural_honey_consumption_in_diabetic_patients_An_8-week_randomized_clinical_trial). Lots of other interesting references too.

Good luck with whatever else you’re spending time on!

Also RE: opportunity cost

Look into listening to podcasts when doing other things, like chores or working out.

If you’re listening to music during your workouts or while mowing the lawn, there’s a huge opportunity missed.

That's exactly what I do every morning during my daily hike. On Fountain.
