People who should not eat honey
Although honey is good for health, not everyone can eat it. Lao Dong newspaper quoted Aboluowang website, pointing out the following 4 groups of people should not use honey:
Children under 1 year old
Honey is susceptible to botulinum toxin contamination during production and transportation. Botulinum toxin has a very strong survival ability and can still exist at high temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius.
These bacteria are harmless to people over 1 year old, but for infants and young children, the digestive tract is not fully developed and the immune system is weak, so it is very easy for children to be poisoned after use.
Diabetic patient
Honey is a food with a high sugar content and is not a very suitable food for diabetics. Therefore, these people need to strictly limit the amount of sugar in their diet. The use of honey in diabetics can easily lead to a sudden increase in their blood sugar, which is very detrimental to disease control.
People who are taking medication
For some people who are taking fever-reducing drugs or cold medicines with fever-reducing ingredients, honey will interact with the drug, causing the body to slow down the absorption of the drug and affect the recovery rate.
Cirrhosis patient
For patients with cirrhosis should not eat, otherwise it will affect the treatment effect, can cause liver diabetes.
Above are people who should not use honey. If you are in the above group, stay away from honey.
