Can newborns drink honey after all?
Unknown 2064: Hello.

Honey is rich in various nutrients and is a good health care product. But although honey is good, it is not suitable for everyone. There are four kinds of people who are not suitable for eating honey. Be careful!

1, patients with liver cirrhosis can't drink honey.

Generally speaking, patients with hepatitis B are very suitable for drinking honey, because the monosaccharide provided by honey does not need to be decomposed and synthesized by the liver, which can reduce the burden on the liver, but patients with liver cirrhosis can't drink honey because it will aggravate the fibrosis of the liver.

2. People with diabetes can't take honey.

Glucose is about 35g, fructose is about 40g, sucrose is about 2g and dextrin is about1g.. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, raising blood sugar, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the hypoglycemic effect of honey is particularly obvious. From this perspective, people with diabetes can't eat honey.

3, cold medicine can not be taken with honey.

Most people cough when they have a cold, and honey has the function of relieving cough, so many people drink honey to relieve cough symptoms when they have a cold. Experts remind everyone that it is best not to drink cold medicine with honey. Honey has the function of moistening lung and relieving cough, which is suitable for lung dryness and cough. If you cough with less phlegm, or have less sticky phlegm, or have a dry cough without phlegm, you can drink it with honey. However, if you are taking antipyretics or cold medicines containing antipyretic ingredients, you should not take honey at the same time. Many cold medicines, such as Tylenol, Crack, Ganliko, Ganmaoqing, etc. All contain acetaminophen, which will form a complex when it meets honey, affecting the absorption rate of the body, thus weakening the antipyretic effect.

Babies under one year old should not eat honey.

Honey is rich in nutrition and is a good food for the public. Many new mothers will also add some honey to the baby food supplement to adjust the taste and increase the nutritional value. But experts point out that infants under 1 year old are not suitable for eating honey. Experts say that honey is easily contaminated by Botox during brewing and transportation, because bees may bring botox-contaminated pollen and honey back to their hives when collecting pollen. Botulinum botulinum spores have strong adaptability and can still survive at the high temperature of 100℃.

Therefore, newborn babies can't eat honey. Never, never.
