It has nothing to do with the very small and negligible amounts of peroxide that can be let off from the degradation of honey, and everything to do with the molecules of typical food products used for hair masks being way too big to even remotely penetrate the hair shaft. Even for chemically processed hair, most food products just sit on top of the hair, and leave a coating or residue even after washing.
If you’re going to use food products at least mix it with more water, wisk or blend it to further break down the molecules, or mix it with a conditioner or deep conditioner.
Since you’ve seen better progress using something else, I’d just say to keep doing what’s working for you.
